Dear Members of the SUNY Oswego Community–
I am pleased to share with you the new SUNY Transfer Task Force Report, a key initiative led by Chancellor John B. King, Jr. and developed in collaboration with campus leaders, faculty, and other stakeholders across the system. This report outlines comprehensive recommendations to enhance the transfer process for students moving between SUNY campuses, with a particular focus on supporting those transferring from community colleges to four-year institutions like SUNY Oswego.
As a community committed to student success and retention, we recognize that streamlining the transfer experience is vital to ensuring timely degree completion and seamless educational transitions; it is the reason we created the Central New York Transfer Collaboration with Cayuga, Jefferson, and Onondaga community colleges. The recommendations in this report are designed to address key areas such as credit acceptance, clarity in transfer policies, and fostering stronger partnerships across SUNY campuses.
We encourage our campus community to review the full report and take part in the public comment period, which is open through November 25, 2024. Your participation will be instrumental in shaping the final recommendations that will be brought before the SUNY Board of Trustees for approval.
Together, we can continue to ensure that SUNY Oswego and the broader SUNY system provide every student the opportunity to succeed in their academic journey.
Remain well,
Peter O. Nwosu
President
