Freshmen
ALL entering freshmen (students without prior college experience except for Advanced Placement and College Now credit) must apply to The City University of New York (CUNY) through the University Application Processing Center (UAPC). The Freshman Application can be completed online at www.cuny.edu/admissions/apply.html.
Applications are not accepted or processed at John Jay.
In addition to completing the online application, students must:
- Request that all official high school transcripts be sent to UAPC
If the student is a GED holder, photocopies of the GED scores and diploma must be sent to UAPC along with all high school transcripts.
International students must also provide the following:
- Photocopies of secondary school documents/transcripts, mark sheets, and/or diploma
- A copy of the TOEFL exam, if applicable
Please visit CUNY’s website for more information: http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/prepare.html
Admission to the College is based on a student’s high school average in academic courses and the number of academic units the student has taken in high school. UAPC processes admissions on a rolling basis. Students should apply by September 15 for spring admission and by February 1 for fall admission. Students admitted early to the College receive preferred schedules by virtue of early registration.
