President Havidán Rodríguez signed a dual-admissions agreement with Hudson Valley Community College President Roger Ramsammy to create a seamless path for graduating HVCC students to continue their education at UAlbany. The new agreement allows students to apply for admission at UAlbany at the same time as they apply to HVCC, or in their first semester. When they graduate from HVCC, they’ll automatically be juniors at UAlbany, and halfway to completing their bachelor’s degrees. HVCC is UAlbany’s largest source of transfers, with about 200 students entering the University each year. The agreement is the first under the SUNY Transformation Fund, which allows SUNY campuses to strengthen advisement and expand programs to enable students to move across campuses to earn their degrees. The Transformation Fund was established by Gov. Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature as part of the 2023-24 State Budget. Less than three weeks after signing the dual admission agreement with HVCC, UAlbany signed a similar agreement with Fulton-Montgomery Community College in Johnstown.
