Transfer Students: Apply

Application Process

  1. Apply Online

    There are several ways to apply; please submit one application:

    The Common Application allows you to apply to over 500 participating schools with one application.

    The SUNY Application allows you to apply to multiple SUNY schools with one application.

    The Coalition Application allows you to apply to over 90 schools with the assistance of an online toolkit.

    Note: There is a $50 nonrefundable application fee. Binghamton accepts specific application fee waivers for students who meet certain criteria demonstrating economic need.

  2. Check Your Email and Activate Your Password

    Beginning in October, after we receive your application, we'll email you a Reference Number and User ID. Once you receive these, activate your account by setting a password. You must do this before you can successfully complete the rest of your application. Add admit@binghamton.edu to your email contact list to ensure you receive our emails. Don't forget to check your spam folder!

  3. Request Official Transcripts

    • College transcripts: Request that an official transcript from every college or educational institution you've attended since high school is mailed to the Admissions office. Faxed transcripts aren't considered official. Official transcripts can be submitted electronically or by mail to 黑料视频, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, P.O. BOX 6001, Binghamton, NY 13902-6001. 

    • High school transcript:

      • If you've earned fewer than 24 college credits after high school graduation at the time of application, your final, official high school transcript is required. You should request your official transcript from your high school to be submitted electronically or by mail to 黑料视频's Office of Undergraduate Admissions (address above). You will also have the option to provide ACT/SAT scores. All students must indicate on the Common Application or the SUNY application whether or not they want standardized SAT/ACT test scores included in the review of their overall application. If you wish to submit scores, have scores sent electronically from the testing service.

      • At the time of application, if you've earned more than 24 college credits after high school graduation you aren't required to submit a final high school transcript as part of the admissions application. However, once enrolled, you MUST submit a final transcript or GED certificate or your file isn't considered complete. Failure to submit a final transcript will prevent you from registering for courses in future semesters.

      • Course Progress Report: You may also be asked to submit a Course Progress Report (125k .pdf) during application review. The Course Progress Report should only be submitted upon request.

  4. Check Status Regularly

    Once you've applied, you should check the status of your application regularly.

  5. Apply for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

    Spring 2025 admission: Complete the 2024-25 if you'd like to be considered for federal and/or New York state financial aid. The recommended filing date is November 15. Note: If you are already attending a school and using financial aid, simply update your FAFSA to include Binghamton. You do not need to submit a new FAFSA.

    Fall 2025 admission: 

    Complete the 2025-26 if you'd like to be considered for federal and/or New York state financial aid. The recommended filing date is February 1.
