Step 1: Pay Application Fee
All applicants who are not currently enrolled at a CUNY college at the time of application are required to pay an applicationprocessing
fee. We are unable to evaluate your application for admission until the fee is received. When paying by check or
money order, please include the Fee & Document Return Receipt included in your Application Summary Package.
Step 2: Submit College (Post-Secondary) Records
A. Students with CUNY College Education: For students who are currently attending or who have attended a CUNY college,
CUNY/UAPC will automatically request all CUNY transcripts. Applicants will be notified by CUNY/UAPC if we are unable to obtain
the transcripts.
B. Students with Other U.S. Post-Secondary Education: Arrange to have transcripts from all colleges, universities, and/or
proprietary schools that you have attended sent directly from the institution issuing them to CUNY/UAPC, whether or not you are
seeking transfer credit. If you are currently attending college, we will require a transcript indicating your courses in progress.
C. Students with Post-Secondary Education Outside the United States: If you have attended college or university outside the
United States, request that official transcripts from all postsecondary schools attended be sent directly from the institution issuing
them to CUNY/UAPC. Students from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan must request official university-issued mark sheets from the
Controller of Examinations. The official transcript must come in the language in which it is normally issued in a sealed university
envelope with proper signatures.
Step 3: Submit High School (Secondary) Records
A. Students with U.S. High School Education: An official copy of your high school transcript is required. You may wish to print
the Transcript Request Letter included in this Application Summary Package and mail it directly to your high school.
B. Students with Home-School Education: New York State residents who are home-schooled must submit a transcript outlining
all completed course work with grades earned. Students must also submit a letter from the superintendent of their school district
confirming that all high school graduation requirements of the district have been met through home-schooling. If students cannot
obtain the letter from the high school district, they must obtain a GED and send an official copy of the results and diploma to
CUNY/UAPC.
Out-of-state residents who are home-schooled must submit a state-issued diploma. If students have not obtained a state-issued
diploma, they must obtain their GED and send an official copy of the results and diploma to CUNY/UAPC.
C. GED Diploma Recipients: If you have received your General Educational Development (GED) diploma from New York State,
mail a photocopy of the original diploma along with your GED test scores to UAPC. You may obtain a copy from the New York
State Education Department High School Equivalency Testing Program, PO Box 7348, Albany, New York, 12224-0348. If you
received your GED diploma in a state outside of New York, contact the appropriate State Education Department.
D. Students with Secondary Education Outside the United States: A complete record (all years) of your high
school/secondary school education (mark sheets and external examination results) is required. Educational records in a language
other than English must be accompanied by an official word-for-word translation on business letterhead.
Step 4: Submit Test Scores
A. TOEFL scores are required of all applicants who are on temporary visas and whose native language is not English. Please
use the CUNY institutional code (2950). You do not need to use both the CUNY institutional code and a specific CUNY college
code
