Admissions
The Admissions Office is usually the first contact a student has with BMCC, and the entrance point for all new students into the CUNYfirst enrollment system. The office staff admits, matriculates and term activates students into the CUNYfirst system. The office also evaluates transfer credits for all entering transfer students. If you wish to continue your studies at the College after you graduate, you must file a second degree or non-degree application with the Admissions Office. You are welcomed to visit the Admissions Office at any time for assistance with questions you may have.

International Student Services
If you are an international student, the International Student Services Office (ISSO) will provide you with valuable information and assistance about immigration matters and
F-1 (student) status. It also collects SEVIS (Student Exchange Visitor Information System) information as mandated by Department of Homeland Security. Students on the F-1 status are encouraged to attend the various workshops during the academic semester to become familiar with the federal regulations. Consequences for an F-1 student who fails to maintain legal status can be serious. The ISSO also offers information about health insurance and employment options for F-1 students. The ISSO staff will see students on a walk-in basis and by appointment.
All international BMCC students are urged to contact ISSO located in the Admissions Office (Room S-115N) for assistance. Ms. Lily Yi-Elkin is the Assistant Director of International and Transfer Services.
