Are exemptions from the GER Core Requirement possible?
Only students who have earned AA or AS degrees from CUNY colleges can receive a full exemption from the GER Core Requirement. However, they are responsible for the GER Graduation Requirements (Foreign Language, Writing, and Pluralism and Diversity). Students who have earned AAS degrees from CUNY colleges or transferable credits from CUNY and non-CUNY colleges will have their accepted courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis for all areas of the GER, with the exception of the Writing Requirement. If you believe that one of your transferred courses is equivalent to a GER Core course, meet with an Advisor in the Office of Advising Services, 1119 East Building. If the “See Department” notation appears on your Hunter transcript, ask the faculty advisor in the appropriate department to review the transferred course. Be prepared to provide a course description and, in some cases, a course syllabus.
