ARTICULATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK COLLEGES AT SUNY ONEONTA AND SUNY NIAGARA NIAGARA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DIETETICS STUDIES (A.S.)
This agreement is intended to facilitate the transition of graduates from an associate degree program at Niagara County Community College (NCCC) to a baccalaureate degree program at SUNY Oneonta (Oneonta). Oneonta and NCCC recognize their responsibility to students from their regions, as well as from the rest of New York State, to insure a smooth transition between the two institutions. Both institutions have made a strong commitment to help transfer students maximize their opportunities.
AGREEMENT
- NCCC students who have graduated or will graduate with an Associate in Science (A.S.) in Dietetics Studies, who apply in a timely manner and meet the admission criteria at the time of application, will be admitted to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Dietetics as matriculated students with junior status at Oneonta.
- Table 1 shows NCCC A.S. in Dietetics Studies degree requirements and Oneonta equivalent courses. Oneonta will accept a maximum of 75 semester hours from NCCC toward fulfilling the B.S. Dietetics degree requirements. Further information on Oneonta’s transfer credit policy can be found on its website, Transfer Credit.
- Oneonta will advise NCCC of any changes to the NCCC/ Oneonta course equivalencies listed in this agreement.
- This agreement is not to be considered contractual. Students are advised to consult both the NCCC and Oneonta college catalogs regarding any modifications or changes to program requirements.
- This agreement will be monitored on a yearly basis by contact among the articulation coordinators and department chairpersons/directors/coordinators at both institutions. Each institution assumes responsibility for making this a viable and workable agreement for interested students. Either institution, giving the other one-year written notice, may terminate this agreement.
- Each institution may carry out publications and marketing of this agreement. This can include, but is not limited to, printed material, websites, and inclusion of admissions material.
To be assured admittance to the B.S. Dietetics program at Oneonta under the terms of this agreement, all students must:
- be in good academic and student standing with NCCC,
- have a minimum NCCC cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5,
- have completed and been awarded the A.S. Dietetics Studies degree,
- have followed the prescribed process in applying to Oneonta and furnished a final transcript with the degree posted, and
- have earned a grade of B- or higher in each major and major-related course that is to be transferred. (elective courses could be lower grades)
- Exceptions to the above requirements may be made by Oneonta on a case-by-case basis.
- Upon acceptance to Oneonta, students who are transferring into the B.S. in Dietetics with a NCCC associate’s degree will:
- be provided a transfer credit evaluation and advisement document outlining coursework to be completed
- be awarded junior status
- be considered for all Transfer Scholarships available through the Office of Admissions without filing any additional paperwork
- be advised toward the successful completion of degree requirements by their academic department
Oneonta will extend every opportunity to help full time students complete the baccalaureate degree in two additional years.
This agreement will come into effect on September 7, 2020. The course selection included in this articulation may be subject to change as new requirements are established for majors. Both institutions assume a good faith effort to continually update each college on any changes to programs and requirements. This is a joint effort on the part of both institutions to help transfer students maximize their transferability.

Note:
Dietetics Major retention policy: Students will be reviewed and may be dismissed from the dietetics major if they receive two initial grades below a B- in courses required in the major or related work. They may also be dismissed from the major at the end of their sophomore year (second semester to transfer students) and successive semesters if they do not have an overall 3.0 GPA.
The Dietetics Program is a Didactic Program which prepares students to meet the educational requirements of the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics Education. (ACEND). In addition, an ACEND accredited supervised practice experience and passing a registration examination are required to become a registered dietitian. Supervised practice experiences are nationally competitive and completing and undergraduate degree does not guarantee that a student will receive a placement. After graduation, supervised practice programs require written verification of the student’s completion of the academic requirements. Upon student request, Oneonta issues verification statements to all students who graduated with a B.S in Dietetics. Students should obtain current policies from the program director. Students will be charged a fee if verification is requested two months or more beyond graduation.
Effective January 1, 2024, a minimum of a master’s degree will be required to take the registration examination by the Commission on Dietetics Registration. ACEND can be contacted at 1800 8770 1600 ext. 5400 or by writing the Commission at 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2190, Chicago IL 60606-699
