CUNY operates on a rolling admission basis; however, specific colleges and programs may close before posted application postmark deadlines. Upon review of the Admission Application, applicants will receive notice of their admission decision. Freshman applicants will be notified by each college choice as listed on the application. Transfer applicants will be notified by one college choice. The following table provides information regarding admission decision types at CUNY.

General Admission
|
An applicant who receives notification indicating he/she has been admitted as a General Freshman has been offered a space at the CUNY college for the academic term indicated.

Conditional Admission
