The SUNY Seamless Transfer Initiative is an ongoing effort to implement the recommendations and success metrics outlined in the final report of the SUNY Transfer Task Force, which was approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees in December 2024. The Initiative aims to enhance all aspects of the transfer student experience, with a particular emphasis on improving the outcomes of “vertical” transfer students transitioning from SUNY community colleges to SUNY baccalaureate programs.

Campuses will strive to achieve campus targets that collectively contribute to system-wide transfer success metrics. These targets will be achieved through the adoption of tools, resources, process/practice recommendations, and policy reforms actively promoted by the SUNY Office of Student Success Transfer and Articulation team.

This will discuss proposed targets for each of the established system transfer success metrics. Targets pertain to a six-year improvement window.
