If you are currently studying at a school in the United States as an F-1 student, you will need to transfer to SUNY New Paltz after you have been admitted. Transfer has two parts: academic and immigration
Academic Transfer: Once you have been admitted to SUNY New Paltz and paid the pre-enrollment deposit, the Admissions Office will evaluate your transcript and determine which classes can be transferred to SUNY New Paltz.

You must be admitted to a program at SUNY New Paltz.
You must be maintaining status at your current school.
You must complete the transfer procedures within the required deadlines (within 60 days after completion of your program or final semester)
