Founded in 1847, The City University of New York (CUNY) is the nation’s leading public urban university. It is noted for its commitment to academic excellence and its open admissions policy. Comprised senior colleges, six community colleges, a graduate school, a law school, and a medical school with a full-time faculty of 6,000 and more than 70 research centers and institutes, the City University ranks among the country’s major research institutions.
Nearly 250,000 students are currently registered at the City University. This includes both full-time graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in credit-bearing courses.
The following are some of the services provided by CUNY to help students and prospective students with their educational needs:
Office of Admissions Services (OAS)
The Office of Admissions Services (OAS) assists all prospective students and applicants who are interested in attending one of the Colleges of the The City University of New York. The office is located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas (15th floor) in Manhattan and includes the following divisions:
The Information Center provides information about CUNY admissions procedures, international student admissions, financial aid, CUNY programs the Seek/College Discovery Program and General Equivalency Diplomas (GED). The Center is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Friday from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. ID is required to enter the building.
The High Schools Services and Community Outreach divisions disseminate pre-admissions information about CUNY to students and guidance counselors in all New York City schools and most of the large community agencies.
OAS administers the Test of English as a foreign Language (TOEFL) and its Publications Office prepares CUNY’s Freshman and Transfer Guides.
University Application Processing Center (UAPC)
The University Processing Center (UAPC) processes all freshman and advanced standing transfer applications and evaluates all foreign educational documents. Application inquiries should be directed to OAS.
Right to Know
In 1998, the federal government passed higher education amendments. This requires colleges to disclose completion or graduation rates and transfer out rates to current and to prospective students beginning July 1, 2000. Current and prospective students may obtain this information at the Registrar’s Office, Room S-315.
