**Transfer Basics**

To transfer a math/stats course from outside Binghamton University for credit, you must receive pre-approval from the math & stats department's Director of Undergraduate Studies. Not all courses can be transferred, hence it is important to have the course content reviewed before you take them. To this end,

  - Fill out the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/advising/forms/docs/transfer-credit-petition-major-updated-1.31.23.pdf|Harpur College Transfer Credit Petition form]]. Save the completed form as a PDF file; images/snapshots are discouraged.
  - Send an email with the completed form to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Guifang Fu (gfu@math.binghamton.edu) for review and approval, even if the course appears in the transfer equivalency table. Include in the email:
    * Current syllabus of the course
    * Website of the department/university that offers the transfer course
    * Information on when you plan to take the transfer course.

Online courses (especially asynchronous ones) are generally **not** approved for transfer (in some cases, transfer credits may be granted after passing our final exam with a grade of C or better.) 

Courses from non-US institutions are typically //not// accepted, although there are exceptions for certain programs such as study abroad (excluding winter or summer sessions). More information on the rationale can be found [[summer-transfer|here]].
