Transfer Credit Information
Each new SCA transfer student receives a Transfer Equivalency Evaluation. This report is a summary of how your previous college credits are accepted by Sage. Students and Faculty Advisors can view transfer course information through SageAdvisor.
At Sage College of Albany, students may transfer in up to 75 credit hours toward a bachelor degree. Of this 75, only 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. Sage brings in only the transfer credits that helps students to meet a major/degree requirement. For students starting a new major or career direction, they may find that not all of their previous college credits are listed on the Transfer Equivalency Report.
