    *Look out for your Student Aid Report (SAR) in your email or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

    $16. There are a limited number of fee waivers that are granted automatically based on the information entered on the profile application. The waiver will cover the application fee and the reporting fees for up to 6

    *Once registered, you can immediately begin to fill out the actual PROFILE online.
    *Complete the PROFILE and print a copy for your own records. (If you make changes later, you will do so
    on a printed copy of your PROFILE and send directly to the colleges.)

    DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR ACCEPTANCE LETTER?


    Colleges will SOON begin to notify students of admission decisions. CUNY will begin notifying students as
    early as February 15. Admission decisions will be sent on a rolling basis by each college to which the student
    has applied and when you applied. Please be sure to BRING in your acceptance letters to the College

    Office as soon as you get them. We want to know!


    Your acceptance letter will most likely contain some very important information about decisions and
    deadlines you need to pay close attention to.
    Wait Listed?
    If you've been put on the waiting list at your first-choice
    school, it can't hurt to let the admissions officer know
    you're still very interested. Send a letter restating your
    request to attend and include any recent achievements or
    high grades.
    Because waiting lists are not guarantees of acceptance, you
    should consider accepting admission to your second-choice
    school. You'll want to be sure you're enrolled somewhere for the fall semester so send your deposit
    by the deadline to be safe. But understand that your money may not be refunded if you are later
    accepted at your first-choice school and decide to enroll there.

    CUNY APPLICATIONS

    The College Office will be scheduling appointments to assist with


    the CUNY Online Application beginning Monday, January 9th, during periods 3, 4, or 5. Come by the College Office Room 306 to

    We will only assist students once they have completed the Freshman Application worksheets.
    Make sure all is complete before scheduling an appointment. Without this information you will
    not be able to submit it online. Also please bring in your Social Security Number or Permanent

    Resident Number and date it was issued, without this information you also can not complete the
    application.
