Transfer of Credit Policies and Articulation Agreements:

As all colleges of The City University of New York, City Tech is governed by the Transfer policy of the CUNY Board of Trustees, reproduced in its entirety below as Appendix A. Operating within that policy, the goal of the College is to facilitate student success and to allow for the most rapid student progress through the transfer credit evaluation.

The college’s transfer policy is posted on the College’s website (Registrar's Office). A summary of transfer policies is also provided in the 2017-2018 College Catalog. Prospective transfer students can get an approximation of the transfer credits they can expect by using the tools found at TIPPS, the CUNY-wide website providing information on course equivalencies, articulation agreements, registered programs and transfer policies. CUNY General Education transfer policies can be found at the CUNY Manual of General Policy. Assignment of general education attributes for the CUNY-wide general education common core, "Pathways" are also described on the college’s website (Pathways).

Students transferring into City Tech benefit from more than 50 articulation agreements, which establish the beneficial terms under which students graduating from many local community college programs may enter City Tech baccalaureate programs. A list of these articulation agreements can be found by clicking here. Information on any of these articulation agreements can be obtained from the involved City Tech department. The awarding of transfer credit not covered specifically by articulation agreements or CUNY Board policy involves coordination between our New Student Advisement Center and the academic departments to be sure that students are accurately placed, and receive all appropriate credit for prior work.

Whenever possible the student is informed about transfer credit before the matriculation decision must be made. Our goal is to grant students all of the credit to which they are entitled, without programming them into classes for which they are not yet prepared. Your success is our goal! Our Transfer Center works closely with students transferring into the College. A rough approximation can be found in Evaluate My Transfer Credit in your Student Center. Additional information may be found in the City Tech catalog.

Federal Student Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Law Violations:

The Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended (HEA) suspends aid eligibility for students who have been convicted under federal or state law of the sale or possession of drugs, if the offense occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid (grants, loans, and/or work-study). If the student has lost federal student aid eligibility due to a drug conviction, the student can regain eligibility if he passes two unannounced drug tests conducted by a drug rehabilitation program that complies with criteria established by the U.S. Department of Education.

A student subject to an involuntary civil commitment after completing a period of incarceration for a forcible or non-forcible sexual offense is ineligible to receive a Federal Pell grant.

Even if the student is ineligible for federal aid, the student should complete the FAFSA because the student may be eligible for nonfederal aid from states and private institutions. If the student regains eligibility during the award year, the student should notify his financial aid administrator immediately. If the student is convicted of a drug-related offense after he submits the FAFSA, he might lose eligibility for federal student aid, and might be liable for returning any financial aid he received during the period of ineligibility.

Student Loan Information

Loan Default Information:

Students at New York City College of Technology/CUNY are eligible for subsidized and unsubsidized loans through the William D. Ford Federal Loan Program. The loan default rate of the most recent cohort 24 months after graduation was 5.5%.

Initial Loan Counseling for Student Borrowers:

All first time Direct Loan applicants or any student who has not completed a loan entrance counseling session online, must do so before the actual loan can be processed. If the student completed an online session for another college, then the student must add New York City College of Technology to his or her school list and bring a copy of the confirmation page to the Financial Aid Office. To access the loan entrance counseling session, the student should go to studentloans.gov.

Exit Counseling for Student Borrowers:

Upon leaving school, or enrolling in less than 6 credits per semester, federal regulations require that the student participate in an exit counseling session at www.studentloans.gov. This session is designed to provide the student with information regarding rights and responsibilities with regard to loan repayment, which include but are not limited to grace period, loan terms and conditions, where to send payment, payment options, conditions to defer repayment and what happens when the student's loan goes into default. To get an idea of what the repayment schedule might be, the student can get customized estimates by using the online repayment calculators at Direct Loans on the web at studentloans.gov.

“Where can technology take you?”

For City Tech graduates, it takes them to careers beyond today's imagination. Founded in 1946 to help meet the need for professionals with sophisticated skills, New York City College of Technology - City Tech - is the home of over 17,000 degree-seeking students, and serves another 16,000 people through its Continuing Education offerings. Through its Schools of Technology and Design, Professional Studies, and Arts and Sciences, City Tech offers 28 baccalaureate and 27 associate degrees - many unique within CUNY, and some representing the only programs of their kind in the Northeast. The National Science Foundation consistently ranks City Tech as one of the nation's largest producers of science and technology graduates from under-represented minorities.

New York’s changing economy depends upon applications of new technologies, science and engineering - areas of study central to City Tech's offerings. The academic programs of the College prepare the well-educated, technologically sophisticated workforce needed to keep New York competitive globally. City Tech's highly regarded healthcare programs provide cutting edge preparation for students in digital medical imaging and restorative dentistry, and the exposure to simulations and computer-based diagnostic tools now employed in nursing. Programs in computer fields, the engineering technologies, industrial design, technology teacher education, and the college’s widely celebrated hospitality management offerings support core sectors of New York’s economy. Architectural technology, construction management and civil engineering technology, environmental control technology, and facilities management programs all integrate sustainable and green technologies.

To fulfill its mission and to meet its obligations to its students, City Tech pays constant attention to technological advances and new workforce needs, both to keep current programs at the cutting edge and to develop new programs to meet new needs. One new bachelor’s degree program in emerging media technologies prepares graduates for careers requiring a highly media-fluent workforce able to address tomorrow’s industrial and business needs and shape new lifestyles, helping graduates to enter professional areas that demand competence in digital technologies. Our newest program, a bachelor’s degree program in the Business and Technology of Fashion, addresses the high-tech needs of one of the core industries of New York.

Our healthcare system and the people it serves have rising needs that require advanced skills. Accordingly, City Tech's program in nursing has been expanded to include a BS. in nursing, to strengthen the cadre of nurses with administrative and analytical skills. Our associate degree program in radiologic technology and medical imaging now leads students directly into our bachelor of science in radiologic sciences, preparing students for careers in management, with research skills and with a background in rapidly advancing areas of digital imagery. Similarly, the bachelor's degree in health services administration will serve the need for administrators with IT and analytic skills, and training in management. A very popular program in Mechanical Engineering Technology will provide the skills required in an age of global industrial competition, a world powered by robotics and advanced industrial design revolutionizing manufacturing. Our rapidly expanding bachelor of science in biomedical informatics prepares students in fields that stand at the intersection of IT and medicine. A BS program in professional and technical writing allows students to combine writing skills with technological expertise, to enter the rapidly expanding field of technical writing. On the near horizon are dramatically expanded offerings in manufacturing and in green technologies.

So, “Where can technology take you?” Maybe it is better to ask, “Where do you want to go?” We can help you get there.
