How to Update Your Transfer Credit Report

Missing credits? Here's how you can update your Transfer Credit Report.

  1. Update Your Transfer Credit Report for Credits from a Prior School
    Request an updated and official college transcript to be sent electronically to trceval@hunter.cuny.edu.
  2. Update Your Transfer Credit Report for Advanced Placement (AP) Credit
    Request test scores from the College Board are sent electronically to trceval@hunter.cuny.edu.​ Note that AP Scores/credits do not transfer from prior colleges. Don’t panic! Your assigned academic advisor will review and discuss your transfer credits at a subsequent meeting.

Students currently enrolled in classes outside of Hunter should wait for all grades to be posted on the current school’s record before sending the final transcript to Hunter. Currently enrolled courses appear on Hunter transcript as ​“CIP = Courses in Progress” until the final transcript is reviewed by Hunter.
