CUNY Application Process

Step 1: Complete the Online Application

Complete The Online Application at www.cuny.edu/apply. The application deadlines are February 1st for fall admission and September 15th for spring admission.

Step 2: Pay The Application Fee

You can apply to up to four CUNY colleges on one application for one $70 non-refundable application fee. Veterans should email [email protected] to learn more about applying for a fee waiver.

Step 3: Download Your Application Summary Package

After you submit the Admission Application be sure to download your Application Summary Package, which is a summary of your application and includes your Application Control Number and important forms that must be used when sending paper transcripts, payment and/or other supporting documents by mail.

Step 4: Send Your Required Supporting Documents to CUNY/UAPC

Request an official WCC transcript be sent directly to [email protected] by going to Parchment. You will also need to send a high school transcript and an official transcript from any other college or university you have attended. You only need to send one set to CUNY, even if you’ve applied to multiple colleges.

Step 5: Check Your Application Status

You are responsible for checking the status of your CUNY Admission Application. For instructions, please visit www.cuny.edu/status. After submitting supporting documents, please allow 2-3 weeks for your application status to update.

IMPORTANT: Your entire coursework history, including grades earned from courses taken more than once, will be used to determine a grade point average (GPA). If more than one college was attended, your GPA will be determined through a combined calculation of all attempted coursework.

Applicants to CUNY four-year colleges must have completed at least one college-level course in Mathematics and English with a grade of “C” or better.
