Admission Information

SUNY Morrisville Admissions Office considers applicants without reference to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, handicap, sexual orientation, marital or parental status. The credentials of each applicant are evaluated on an individual basis and admission is granted to those who have the potential for success in the curriculum of their choice.

SUNY Morrisville does not offer an open enrollment admission policy. Students are admitted to specific curricula rather than to a general program.

Although an interview is not required for admission to the college, students are encouraged to visit the campus during the admission process, meet with program faculty members, and discuss admission and enrollment procedures directly with an admission adviser.

Admission is offered on a space available basis. All of the information provided is reviewed holistically to make the best decision possible for both the applicant and the college. Some programs may attain full enrollment and close throughout the year. A student may be admitted to an alternate major when the desired major is full or if the admissions committee deems that enhanced academic credentials are required for the requested major.

Students who have earned college level credit after high school graduation or equivalency will apply through Transfer Admission.

Readmission to SUNY Morrisville is for students who have previously been enrolled in a degree program and wish to return to school.

Articulation Agreements

SUNY Morrisville has established articulation agreements with several high schools and BOCES campuses through the development of articulation agreements. Students who successfully complete an approved Career & Technical Education program will be granted college credits upon full-time matriculation at SUNY Morrisville, typically after the first semester or year of coursework. Proper documentation from the student's high school and/or BOCES campus is required. Proof of program/course completion and a minimum GPA are requirements that must be met in order for credits to be granted. Students must adhere to the requirements specific to each articulation agreement in order to earn college credit.

New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation (NSO) and Welcome Weekend (WW) activities help the newest members of our Mustang Community learn about key campus policies and resources, get engaged on campus early, and make valuable connections with their peers that will last throughout their time as a student at Morrisville. New students typically arrive on campus several days before classes begin in August, allowing them plenty of time to get settled in (and to let you know if they forgot something at home). New students will be assigned in groups of 25 to 35 students led by our Mustang Mentors, who are a peer resource for the first six weeks of the semester. Students who plan to start in the spring semester will attend their orientation in January.

Orientation is required for all new students, whether students are living on campus, commuting, first-year, or transfers. SUNY Morrisville wants all students to start their academic journey with the correct information, with connections to faculty, with the opportunity to connect to other new students, and the understanding of all the expectations that the college has for our students.
