Welcome to Queens College! The First Year Experience is to support and guide both freshmen and transfer students during their first year at QC. You can find relevant information below. Drop by Honors Hall Room 5 if you have any questions or need support!
Resources
Transfer Explorer provides the most up-to-date information about how CUNY colleges transfer and apply credit for both CUNY and non-CUNY courses, as well as for other learning experiences, like exams and certifications.
- Compare how one or multiple CUNY colleges transfer and apply credit for the same course or learning experience.
- Identify how courses taken at one CUNY college satisfy program requirements in specific majors and minors at one or multiple CUNY colleges.
- Compare how your CUNY courses, completed or in process, transfer to another CUNY college – if you are or have ever been a CUNY student.

To stay in compliance with QC academic policies, keep the following information in mind:
-
- If you transfer in 75 or fewer credits, you must attain at minimum of 120 credits with at least 45 credits in residency
- Your major must be declared by your 60th completed credit
- If you are interested in a major that has entrance requirements/criteria, you must declare a closely associated major in the same department in the interim so that you do not lose your financial aid
- Financial Aid requires that you take and complete at least 12 credits per semester of brand new (not repeated) coursework
- The minimum cumulative grade point average to earn a QC baccalaureate degree is 2.0
