College Report/Dean’s Certification Request for Students Transferring to Other Colleges

Students looking to transfer to another college will often be required to submit a College Report from their current institution.  These forms are supplied by the institution a student is planning to transfer into.  These forms usually request details of a student’s conduct/disciplinary record from the institution they currently attending.  In some cases it will also request confirmation of grade point average and other academic information.  These forms have many different names, depending on the institution they are coming from.  Names can include, but are not limited to:  (a) College Report; (b) Dean’s Certification; (c) Dean’s Release; (d) the Common Application’s Transfer College Report; or (e) Transfer Recommendation.

At Westchester Community College, these forms are completed by the Registrar’s Office.   Students should bring their completed forms to the Registrar’s Office located in the Administration Building Room 107.  Students should make sure they complete ALL required parts of the form(s) before they submit them.  Incomplete forms may not be accepted and/or may result in delayed processing.

*Note about student conduct records: The main purpose of Dean’s Certification Letter is to report on your student conduct record. Many students do not realize they have records, especially when the record consists of being placed on Disciplinary Probation or worse.  As a result, the Associate Dean strongly recommends that you review your full student conduct record if you have been summoned to meet with a judicial affairs officer before completing this section of your application.  You should understand clearly what is on your record, what will be reported by the Dean.
