Students planning to transfer to a 4 –year SUNY institution should pay attention to the SUNY general education requirements.

At MVCC the following courses may be counted toward the SUNY General Education requirement.

Financial Aid eligibility is closely linked to your grades, course selection, the number of courses you complete or do not complete, and how long it takes you to complete your certificate or degree. To maintain financial aid eligibility you must continue to make Satisfactory Academic Progress as specified by federal and state regulation. If you have any questions, consult your academic advisor or a Financial Aid counselor.

See your academic advisor. If you don’t know who it is look on your Plan of Study by logging into your SIRS account or ask your academic department secretary.

Stop by the Advisement Center in Payne Hall 104 D or 104E or email: advisement. In Rome, go to Plumley Complex room 119 or 121.

Visit the Counseling Center in the advisement center to get help with personal issues or stress.

Stop by the Learning Center for tutoring and other academic help.

The Office for Services to Students with Disabilities has resources to provide assistance whether you have temporarily broken your arm, or have learning disabilities.
