SUNYIT admits students into the following bachelor degree programs:<\/span><\/p>\n *Available to transfers only<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Admission is competitive. Admission decisions are weighted heavily on previous academic and college admission test performance; however, SUNYIT practices a holistic admissions approach. We acknowledge that a student\u2019s success in college is dependent on many factors, and we incorporate personal essays, letters of recommendation and other supplemental information into our decision-making process.<\/span><\/p>\n SUNYIT will consider candidates for admission who do not otherwise meet the general admission criteria, but possess or have exhibited special talents (academic, athletics, technology, leadership, etc.). Upon request, students may have their special talent reviewed by the admissions staff, faculty and athletic coaches. Special talent candidates must present formal evidence of their special talent and may be asked to interview with the Special Talent Admissions Committee prior to receiving a final admission decision. Contact Admissions for additional information.<\/p>\n If admitted, the decision is provisional; students admitted with self-reported academic transcripts and test scores must present final transcripts and have test scores officially submitted for credential evaluation and diploma verification prior to matriculation. Students admitted with official transcripts must also submit final official documentation of coursework in progress for diploma verification. Failure to meet this requirement will jeopardize financial aid awards and matriculation standing.<\/p>\n SUNYIT reserves the right to rescind an admission decision if academic progress was not maintained by the student as evident in final transcripts, or information is conflicting with original self-reported information.<\/p>\n Admission is competitive. To be considered for admission, freshman applicants should generally carry at least a B\/B+ average in a college-preparatory program, and have achieved competitive SAT or ACT scores. Admission is based on high school average, SAT or ACT scores, letters of recommendation, personal essay, and other relevant supplemental information. A supplemental application is required of most students. Although not required, a personal interview is highly recommended and will be used with supplemental information as a factor in determining admission and merit scholarships.<\/span><\/p>\n SUNYIT participates in the EOP and Early Action Program. Students interested in EOP should refer to the EOP section of this catalog. Students who are interested in applying Early Action must submit their completed application by November 15. Applications will be reviewed and students will be notified of a decision December 15.<\/p>\n A transfer student is generally a student who has earned college credit following high school graduation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Admission is competitive. To be considered for transfer admission, applicants must present a minimum 2.7 Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) for consideration. Coursework and G.P.A. from all colleges attended are considered when determining an applicant\u2019s minimum G.P.A. for admission. Students presenting a G.P.A. below a 2.7 and above a 2.0 will be considered on an individual basis. Highest consideration is given to associate degree holders (A.A., A.S.) in regards to minimum G.P.A. required. Acceptable credentials vary by academic program. Because of academic rigor, demand for certain programs and limited availability of seats, some programs require an applicant\u2019s G.P.A. be higher than the stated minimum.<\/p>\n Students must provide an official transcript from all previously attended institutions. Admission is based on previous academic record, letters of recommendation, personal essay, special talents and other relevant supplemental information. A supplemental application is required of most students. Although not required, a personal interview is highly recommended and will be used with supplemental information as a factor in determining admission and merit scholarships. Students with 30 credit hours or less may be required to submit high school transcripts and college admission test scores for review.<\/p>\n Communication and Information Design\/Information Design Technology BS\/MS Students with a GPA of less than 3.0 in any of these categories will be placed on academic probation in the program. Students who are on academic probation for any two semesters or who have a GPA of less than 2.50 in any of these categories will be academically dismissed from the joint program. Students who are academically dismissed but have not yet completed the baccalaureate program but whose performance constitutes satisfactory performance in the undergraduate program will automatically be placed in that program.<\/p>\n Computer Science BS\/MS Nursing BS\/MS (for Professional Registered Nurses) In addition, students requesting admission to the Accelerated RN to BS\/MS Program must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n Application submission deadline is August 1 (Fall) with a completed application required by August 15; December 1 (Spring) with a completed application required by December 15. Early application is strongly encouraged for scholarship consideration and residence hall preference.<\/span><\/p>\n Notification of decisions for Regular Action freshman and transfer applicants will begin by January 15 and continue on a rolling admission basis until the class is full. However, SUNYIT reserves the right to close admission at any time.<\/p>\n The deposit and enrollment confirmation deadline is May 1; students admitted after May 1 will have 30 days from acceptance to return a deposit and enrollment confirmation.<\/p>\n Administered by the College Board, Advanced Placement (AP) credit may be awarded for courses taken in high school dependent upon the AP exam scores achieved. Students should send an official copy of their scores directly to the Admissions Office. AP credit cannot be used to fulfill SUNYIT\u2019s requirement for the satisfactory completion of one upper-division writing course. In addition, AP credits in biology, chemistry, environmental science or physics will only fulfill SUNYIT\u2019s requirement for the satisfactory completion of one laboratory course in the physical sciences when a score of 4 or 5 has been achieved on any of the four AP examinations. Refer to page 31 in this catalog for a specific listing of AP examinations and acceptable scores.

\n<\/strong>This program offers qualified registered nurses the opportunity to earn both the BS and MS in Nursing within a shortened time frame. The curriculum combines elements of the BS program with the MS program and streamlines the BS program by substituting with select accelerated courses. Full-time study is preferred to proceed through the program at an accelerated pace. Students have the option of selecting from three graduate specialty areas of concentration: nursing administration, nursing education, or family nurse practitioner. At the end of the option, the graduate will be eligible to seek advanced practice certification. The RN to BS\/MS student will receive both BS and MS degrees upon program completion.<\/p>\n\n
