Transfer Students

Our transfer students are an integral part of our Baruch community. We’re excited to welcome you to the Bearcat family. Whether you’re transferring from CUNY, SUNY, or beyond, there are many ways for you to get connected, get involved, and succeed at Baruch.

Getting Started

Once you’ve been admitted and confirm your attendance, you’ll be invited to attend orientation where you’ll learn more about the Baruch curriculum, important policies, and register for classes.

This webpage is built for admitted transfer students to bring together key resources and information most relevant to you! Feel free to click around, explore, and learn more.

For information and FAQs on applying to Baruch as a transfer student, please visit our Undergraduate Admissions webpage.

National Transfer Student Week

The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students (NISTS) organized National Transfer Student Week (NTSW) on an annual basis during the third week of October as a way to celebrate transfer students. Baruch College sponsors various events during NTSW to highlight the achievements of our transfer students. We will also use this week to showcase the support and resources we offer our transfer students.
