First Year Students:
Submit all Advanced Placement, College Level Examination Program, and International Baccalaureate exam scores to your Admitted Student Portal.

*NYC Public Schools students do not need to request a final high school transcript as long as they have listed their OSIS number on their admission application.

Incoming students that are required to take Math or English writing placement exams, will be sent a Testing Ticket with your placement exam date and time by The Office of Testing and Evaluation.

To ensure a safer, healthier student community, all students must fulfill mandatory health and immunization requirements in compliance with New York State Public Health Law 2165 and 2167, as well as CUNY policy. All new students must be fully vaccinated against Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Meningitis (proof/waiver).

MMR/Meningitis:
