Students with a GPA of 69 or below are guaranteed admission into one of seven City University of New York (CUNY) 2-year colleges, while those with a GPA of 70 or above are guaranteed admission into CUNY's 4-year colleges, with certain conditions.

  • Students with GPAs of 69 or below are guaranteed admission into one of CUNY's 2-year colleges following high school graduation.
  • For students with GPAs of 70 or above, while there's guaranteed admission, specific program or college preferences may result in them being offered an alternative choice within CUNY.
  • The policy aims at providing a pathway to higher education for all students, ensuring a place within the CUNY system, regardless of GPA.
  • This initiative is part of efforts to make higher education more accessible and support students through their college decision process.
  • Feedback on the clarity of the admissions policy, particularly in admission letters, highlights an area for improvement in communication.
