ADMISSION

Admission to SUNY Delhi is based on an applicant's academic qualifications, and is made without regard to the race, color, creed, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, or handicap of an individual. Admission will be offered to qualified applicants whose academic preparation and experience indicate that there is a reasonable chance for success in their chosen curricula.

Applications are received on a rolling basis; however, students are encouraged to apply early, particularly to popular programs of study such as Nursing, Applied Technologies, and Veterinary Science Technology. Students are admitted to specific curricula, and admission varies according to available space.

The credentials of each applicant are evaluated on an individual basis based on academic standards set by the College faculty. Candidates are encouraged to include as many college-preparatory courses as possible in their high school program. Applicants with strong academic backgrounds have an advantage over those who have completed less rigorous high school programs, particularly where the number of applicants for programs exceeds the available space.

Any deliberate falsification or omission of academic data by a student may result in a denial of admission, revocation of acceptance, or administrative dismissal from the College.

Admission Interviews

Prospective students and their families are encouraged to visit the campus to discuss college plans with an admissions counselor.

Early Admission Program

Early admission may be granted to an applicant who has completed the junior year of high school and who is recommended for college by the principal or a counselor. A contract detailing specific arrangements for completing the requirements for high school graduation must be made among the student, the high school principal, and the Director of Admissions. For further information, contact the Admissions Office. Arrangements for this contract are the responsibility of the applicant.

Non-Matriculated Students

Non-matriculated students should, at a minimum, have completed their junior year of high school. For further information, contact the SUNY Delhi Office of Records and Registration.

Students interested in non-credit courses or workshops, should contact the Office of Training and Business Recruitment.

TRANSFER APPLICANTS

Applicants who have previously completed college-level coursework after high school graduation will be considered transfer students.

In addition to the application process, transfer applicants must request official transcripts from all previously attended colleges, which must be submitted directly from those colleges to the Admissions Office at SUNY Delhi.

• A maximum of half of the total required credit hours will be accepted from other colleges for an associate degree or certificate program.
• Students transferring into bachelor degree programs should consult with the academic division regarding transfer credit.
• Courses completed at another institution transfer only as credit; letter grades and quality points do not transfer.
• Transfer students must complete all specified degree requirements.

See the "Academic Policies" section of this catalog for further information about transfer credit.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

SUNY Delhi accepts transfer credits from accredited institutions, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), the College Entrance Examination Board's Advanced Placement Examination (AP), Regents College Examinations, and the Armed Forces. Applicants must submit official transcripts and/or other official documentation.

 Transfer credit evaluations are provided after a student has been accepted to the College.

• College-level course work that is applicable to SUNY Delhi’s major requirements can be transferred to the college, but grades and grade points cannot be transferred. Credit will be given for courses completed with a grade of "C" or higher (a C- is not transferable). SUNY Delhi will award college credit based on test scores in the following: Advanced Placement (AP) program, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program.
• Only course work completed at institutions that are fully accredited will be considered for possible transfer credit toward SUNY Delhi degree requirements.
• All transfer credit will remain tentative until official, final college transcripts and score reports for college level examinations (AP, CLEP, IB, etc.) are received and reviewed by the Office of Admissions.
• Entering freshman who complete college level course work while in high school must submit official transcripts or score results for credit evaluation prior to the beginning of the semester they first enroll. Credits will be reflected on the student’s initial evaluation during academic advisement.

Members of the Armed Forces may be eligible for additional transfer credit hours (PE and First Aid).

 See the "Academic Policies" section of this catalog for further information about transfer credit.

Armed Forces Credit

Some training courses provided by the Armed Forces may be the equivalent of college courses, and transfer credit may be obtained. Where courses, service-school experience, or subject-matter exams are applicable to a curriculum, credit will be determined using the American Council on Education publication Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.

1. Secondary-school records or equivalency scores.

The admissions staff will make decisions regarding applicants for the Spring semester beginning October 1. Applicants for admission for the Fall semester will be reviewed beginning November 1.

Note to spring semester applicants: A limited number of students are admitted for the spring semester. Several programs are not available for spring admission due to the sequencing of courses in those programs. Prospective applicants should refer carefully to the curricula listed in the SUNY Application Guidebook or contact the SUNY Delhi Admissions Office.

Once a student receives an acceptance letter from the college, required deposits must be made by the student to reserve a place in a program and confirm the acceptance (see below).

Deposits:
