Note: The information below applies only to students admitted to Ithaca College as transfer students.

As a transfer student, during your first semester at Ithaca College, you will complete a 1 credit ICC Seminar for Transfer Students, which introduces you to integrative learning, the role of liberal arts in education and society, and the Ithaca College community. This requirement is in lieu of the 4-credit Ithaca Seminar completed by first time, first semester students. This seminar is likely different from seminars you may have completed at a prior institution because it focuses on introducing you to Ithaca College instead of to college in general.

ICC Requirements for Students Admitted to Ithaca College as Transfer Students

  • Transfer students entering Ithaca College with a completed Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university will be considered to have fulfilled the ICC perspectives, diversity, quantitative literacy, writing intensive, and first year composition requirements. Such students will be required to complete only the ICC transfer seminar and ICC capstone requirements. Regardless of previous degree, transfer students must meet all requirements for their specific degree program.
  • Transfer students may be credited with fulfilling ICC requirements based on courses completed at regionally accredited colleges or universities. Such determination will be made on review of the student’s transcripts from prior institutions. If you believe that a course you completed before coming to Ithaca College meets an ICC requirement but it isn't showing in your degree evaluation, please complete the ICC Designation Request form and upload a copy of the course syllabus for ICC review.
  • All students may apply credits granted on the basis of AP/IB/CLEP or other standardized test scores accepted by Ithaca College toward fulfillment of the following ICC components: First Year Composition (Academic Writing), Quantitative Literacy, Diversity, and Writing Intensive. The degree to which such credits will apply to a specific ICC requirement is dependent on the match between the test score and specific course(s) for which Ithaca College awards credit.
