Transfer Credit Re-Evaluation Appeal
If a student believes a course was not granted the appropriate equivalency, the student may appeal to have the course reviewed for a different equivalency. Students have the right to submit an appeal via this process via the form below.
Brooklyn College accepts credits from regionally accredited colleges and approved external exams as per the policies outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
The Transfer Evaluations Office takes care of matriculated undergraduate students only. Graduate students should contact Graduate Admissions for assistance.
Appeals Process
If a student believes a course was not granted the appropriate equivalency, the student may appeal to have the course reviewed for a different equivalency. Students have the right to submit an appeal via this process via the form below.
Students are responsible for submitting all information and documentation, even if it was previously submitted for the first review of the academic unit’s evaluator. All requests with documentation submitted to the office will be sent to the academic unit’s evaluators of the departments that offer the course, or field of study for the secondary review and possible approval.
If the academic unit’s evaluator sees merit in the request, the original equivalency will be changed on CUNYfirst. The Transfer Evaluations Office will process the approved appeal and notify the students via e-mail of the results of the review.
The re-evaluation appeal cannot be used for courses with the code 9999 on the Transfer Credit Report, nor for requesting that a pathway be attached to an equivalency. If you wish to request that a pathway be attached to an equivalency, please submit an e-petition with course and standing.
Re-evaluation Request Form
The re-evaluation request should not be used for transfer credits earned via a permit/ePermit. Email the ePermit Office directly for inquires related to these types of courses.
If you are submitting a re-evaluation request after your first semester at the college, negative financial implications may occur. It is your responsibility to contact the Financial Aid Office prior to submitting a request. Once submitted and reviewed, you cannot request the process to be reverted.
Submission of this request does not automatically guarantee that approval and processing will occur. Your request must be reviewed and approved by the academic unit’s evaluator within the unit that offers this field of study. Once a decision has been made, you will receive an email from tcevaluation@brooklyn.cuny.edu informing you of the approval or denial.
You must have first submitted the re-evaluation appeal to Brooklyn College before escalating your appeal to CUNY University Provost/Office of Academic Affairs.
