Transfer Credit Information
Each new SCA and SAW transfer student receives a Transfer Credit Equivalency Evaluation Report. This report is a summary of how all of your previous college credits are accepted by Sage. Students and Faculty Advisors can view transfer course information in SageAdvisor.
At Sage College of Albany, students may transfer in up to 75 credit hours toward a bachelor degree. Of this 75, a maximum of 60 credits may be transferred in from 2 year colleges. Transfer credit is carefully evaluated and brought in based on the student's declared major upon admission. Sage brings in only the transfer credits that will meet a specific major or degree requirement. For students starting a new major or career direction, they may find that not all of their previous college credits are accepted. [For Sage After Work students, 90 credits may be transferred in. Of this 90, a maximum of 66 credits may be from 2-year colleges.]

The right column reports how your transfer course was accepted at Sage. The number of credits accepted and either a specific Sage course number (ie, MAT-110) or a discipline and level for a general equivalency (ie, MAT-ELCT) is listed. |
