Once a student has met a Common Core area requirement at one CUNY college, that requirement will be met at any other CUNY college. Transfer students from institutions other than CUNY will have their transcripts evaluated and will be given credit for General Education courses taken at the previous institution.

Because many Common Core courses can simultaneously count toward the satisfaction of major requirements for specific majors, students who have chosen or have a specific major in mind should consult with an advisorto see which Common Core choices will help them complete their degrees most efficiently.
