Transcripts/Transfer Credits

·         The UAPC (University Application Processing Center) will automatically request transcripts from all CUNY colleges.

·         Make sure you DO NOT have any stops on your record (especially bursar stops) or Kingsborough will not release your transcripts to UAPC.

·         If you are currently enrolled at KCC, an electronic version of your official CUNY transcript will be retrieved by CUNY/UAPC after the application is submitted. Attending KBCC is sure to complete the "Courses in Progress" section on the application, to avoid paying the $70 application fee.
