Information for transfer outside of SUNY

Just because you are attending a SUNY community college does not mean you cannot transfer to a private (non-SUNY) institution. Many MVCC students transfer to non-SUNY schools, and the transfer process is relatively the same as long as you plan ahead and read the admission criteria very carefully — every private school has different requirements.
