Admissions and Recruitment Information

Overview

The Office of Admissions and Recruitment supports prospective students as they explore their educational goals and learn about Hostos Community College’s admissions requirements, policies, and procedures. Students are encouraged to meet with an Admissions Advisor for guidance throughout the application process.

How to Apply
The Application Process
All applicants must complete the appropriate City University of New York online application and submit all required documents, as specified below. Filing the incorrect application may delay admission processing and can result in disciplinary action by the University.

Priority application deadlines:

  •  Fall is February 1

  • Spring is September 15

Applicants should review all instructions and submit all necessary documentation. We recommend visiting the website at https://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply for updated details on the freshman and transfer application process. International students can meet with an Admissions Advisor and file their online application. However, they must mail their application fee (if they did not pay by debit/credit card), official transcripts, and translations (when applicable) directly to the University Application Processing Center (UAPC).

All transcripts and associated documents must be translated. For more information, please review the City University of New York (CUNY) Translation Guidelines: https://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/#translations.

Secondary School Transcripts
You will need to submit a copy of your complete academic record (all years) and any national or government certificates earned. Secondary school documents can be uploaded to your CUNY application, or in certain cases (e.g., WAEC), where we require additional information, they can be sent to admissions@cuny.edu. Please review the list of Required Secondary School Credentials at https://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/#documents

Official University Transcripts
If you’ve attended university, you’ll need to request an official transcript from each university to be considered for admission. Please review the Official Transcript section before submitting documents. Have them send transcripts directly to transcripts@cuny.edu.

 Please note that all materials and documents (including original documents) submitted as part of an admission application become the property of CUNY/UAPC and cannot be returned.
