Transferring Credits You’ve Earned to College

In order to transfer your College Now credits to a non-CUNY college or university (e.g., SUNY, private, out-of-state) you must submit your Official Transcript to the receiving college/university. See the link below, which provides steps to obtain an official transcript from the NYC College of Technology (City Tech) Registrar’s Office. Note, only the Registrar’s Office can issue official transcripts. If you participated in multiple College Now programs you must request an official transcript from each program’s Registrar Office.

• City Tech Transcript Ordering Services

Note:  You do not need to request a transcript if you will be attending CUNY for your undergraduate studies. All you need to do is provide the respective CUNY college with your EMPLID# and inform them you attended College Now.
