SUNY Potsdam is proud to offer CAP (the College Advancement Program) for qualified high school juniors and seniors who would like to enroll in regularly-scheduled lower level credit courses on the Potsdam campus. Upon successful completion of a CAP course, students will receive academic credit from SUNY Potsdam. These credits will form the basis of a permanent post-secondary academic record at SUNY Potsdam. Credits earned through SUNY Potsdam may be eligible for transfer to other colleges and universities.
Students are advised to contact the Admissions Office of the institutions they are particularly interested in attending to inquire about the transfer of SUNY Potsdam credits prior to enrolling in a CAP course.
The decision to accept transfer credit from SUNY Potsdam is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
