Official Transcripts for Associate and Bachelor's Admissions

An official transcript will be needed for each institution attended, even if transfer credit from a previous institution is listed on another college transcript.

SUNY Empire State College partners with several electronic transcript providers to receive electronic academic transcripts. If your institution provides electronic transcripts, you may request to have your official transcripts sent electronically from your institution directly to SUNY Empire.

Please contact your previous college/university to request an official transcript be transmitted electronically to admissions@esc.edu or mailed directly to:
