Simplified Transfer Process from FLCC to HWS: A Boost for Local Education

Hobart and William Smith (HWS) and Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) have agreed to simplify the transfer process for FLCC students to HWS. The aim is to make the enrollment process easier and clarify which courses can be transferred. This partnership is likely to attract more students to HWS and strengthen ties with the Finger Lakes community.

Carol Urbaitis, FLCC Vice President of Enrollment Management, stated that the agreement enables FLCC graduates to transfer to around 20 HWS programs as juniors. This expands educational opportunities within the Finger Lakes region.

The agreement details transfer requirements such as minimum grade point average for admission, minimum grades for transfer credits, and general education requirements. It also provides a timeline for completing a bachelor’s degree. This information will help students make informed choices about their courses.

The agreement acknowledges the academic efforts of FLCC students by applying eligible courses and general education credit to their HWS program. This is likely to encourage FLCC students to work hard, knowing their efforts will be recognized.

For more details, FLCC students can reach out to Melanie Sage, Senior Associate Director of Admissions and Director Transfer Admissions, at msage@hws.edu. This partnership between HWS and FLCC is an important move towards increasing local student access and enhancing education in the Finger Lakes region.
