Early Admission Program
Early admission will be granted to an applicant who has completed grade eleven of an accredited secondary school, meets the admission criteria for the program applied for, has maintained a strong academic average, and is recommended for college by the principal or counselor. A contract detailing specific arrangements for completing the requirements for high school graduation must be made between the student, the high school principal, and the Dean of Enrollment. For further information please contact the Office of Admissions. Arrangements for this contract are the responsibility of the applicant and students would not be eligible to receive federal financial aid until after their high school class graduates.
Armed Forces Credit
Some training courses provided by the Armed Forces may be the equivalent of the college courses and transfer credit may be obtained. Where courses, service school experience, or subject matter exams are applicable to a curriculum, credit will be determined using the American Council on Education publication entitled Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.

SUNY Canton does require Bachelor applicants to take the SAT or ACT exam. Associate degree and Certificate applicants are not required to take the exams, but the exams are recommended for placement purposes. SUNY Canton requires all new full-time students to take the ACCUPLACER Placement test unless exempt as determined by English Regents or standardized test scores.
