Admissions FAQ
When do I apply for transfer admission? Is there an application deadline?
The SUNYIT Admissions Office operates on a "rolling" admission,
accepting applications through the first week of classes each semester.
While there is no formal transfer application deadline, early
application is encouraged to allow for the timely processing of
financial aid, as well as scholarship consideration.
Where and when do I send my application?
The Application Services Center of the State University of New York (SUNY ASC) processes all SUNYIT transfer applications.
Applicants can file either the paper application or apply online. Paper applications should be mailed to:
The State University of New York
Application Services Center
P.O. Box 22007
Albany, New York 12201-2007
How can I obtain an admissions application?
You can obtain an application by calling the SUNYIT Admissions Office at 1-866-2-SUNYIT, emailing us at admissions@sunyit.edu, or by picking an application up from a local community college transfer office.
What does it cost to apply?
There is a $40 application fee payable to the Application Services Center.
Can the application fee be waived?
The fee is waived for:
- Students applying directly from a two-year New York State
public college (SUNY/CUNY) who will have earned an associate degree by
the time of their planned entrance at SUNYIT.
- Applicants to
the Educational Opportunity Program. Applicants found to be ineligible
for the EOP Program will be billed for the application fee.

If you have earned college credit following high school graduation, you are eligible to apply for transfer admission at SUNYIT.
What credentials must be submitted to properly file a transfer application?
Applicants must submit a completed SUNY application (online or paper
application), the $40 processing fee (if applicable), official
transcript verifying high school graduation, and official transcripts
from all previously attended colleges. Transfer students with 24 credit
hours or less must also submit an official high school transcript and
standardized test scores. Official transcripts should be sent to:
