Welcome to our transfer information page and online workshop. The purpose of this page is to introduce the resources available to you as an Education or TESOL major at LaGuardia. This page explains the transfer procedures between junior and senior colleges, especially within the CUNY system. To begin, read about LaGuardia’s graduation requirements. Next, look through the information on transfer, in general, and then specifically within CUNY. Pay attention to the list of the existing articulation agreements for the Education and TESOL tracks. Watch two videos: An Interview with a LaGuardia alumna, Gabrielle Surrubbo and the 2021 LaGuardia Transfer Panel with four senior college representatives. At the end of each section below, you will find a reflection prompt designed to guide your thinking about the multi-step process leading to successful transfer. After reading, listening, and reflecting, complete the exit survey (link at the bottom of the page). If you are completing this workshop as part of a co-curricular, please also complete the reflection in the My Campus Events section of your ePortfolio.

Graduation Information

At LaGuardia, a 2.00 GPA (C average) is required for graduation, as well as passing the required basic skills tests and major requirements. A graduate whose cumulative GPA is between 3.50 and 3.89 shall be graduated with honors. A graduate whose cumulative GPA is 3.90 or better shall be graduated with high honors. Students can review their progress towards graduation anytime at CUNY DegreeWorks. All students must register for “Intent to Graduate” (GRD 000) in order to have their records reviewed by the Registrar. This should be done when students register for their final 12-week session. LaGuardia Commencement ceremony occurs once a year.

Transfer Information

The transfer process takes a long time; therefore, we strongly recommend that you visit the LaGuardia Community College Office of Transfer Services, first as a freshman. The Office of Transfer Services helps students with applications to CUNY, SUNY, and private colleges. If you are considering transfer to one of the CUNY 4-year colleges, your second visit with Transfer Services should take place when you have accumulated approximately 30 credits. If you are considering transfer to a private university/college, you should visit Transfer Services at least three to six months prior to graduation. CUNY Application Deadlines for Spring and Fall.

Reflection: Are you on the path towards graduation in the major of your choice? If yes, what should your next step be? If not, what challenges are you facing and what campus resources should you utilize to facilitate your academic success? Have you checked in with a peer advisor, staff, or faculty member in Education or TESOL?

Reflection: Are you thinking of transferring to a four-year college? If yes, which one? What should your next step be? Have you had the initial conversation with LaGuardia’s Transfer Services staff? Have you checked articulation agreements between LaGuardia’s Education and TESOL programs and CUNY senior colleges? Learn more about articulation agreements below.

CUNY Articulation Agreements

An articulation agreement is a signed agreement made between specific programs at colleges stating that credits received at the sending college, such as LaGuardia CC, are accepted as credits for the same course applied to a degree at the receiving senior college. For example, a student with credits for foundations of education will get credit for foundations of education at the receiving college and these credits will be applied to the degree the student is pursuing at the 4-year college. Without an articulation agreement, a student may receive blanket/elective credits instead of credit for the exact same course at the other college and will have to retake the same course. Articulation agreements do not guarantee entrance into programs at the receiving college, only course equivalencies. The Education and TESOL programs currently have six (6) articulation agreements for students transferring out of LaGuardia after graduation.

Early Childhood Education

Reflection: Have you located the articulation agreement relevant to you and your track in Education or TESOL? What is the GPA requirement for admission to the major of your choice at the senior college? Are you on path to meeting the GPA requirement? Have you taken the courses at LaGuardia which have articulated equivalents at the senior college of your choice? What do you notice about the admission requirements at the senior college?

Interview with a LaGuardia alumna, Gabrielle Sarrubbo, a Secondary Education major at Queens College

2021 Transfer Panel with senior college representatives from Brooklyn, City, Queens, and York College

Reflection: What have you learned about the path towards graduation at LaGuardia from the experience Gabby Sarrubbo has shared? What is one aspect of Gabby’s LaGuardia journey that stands out to you? What about her transfer experience? What has worked? What were some missteps, if any?

Reflection: What did you learn about the college of your choice from the panelists in the video? Would you consider a campus visit after hearing the panelists speak about their home college? Who should you contact on the senior college campus first? Are you intrigued by another college?
