INFORMATION FOR NEW FIRST-TIME FRESHMEN:
NEW FIRST-TIME students must be tested in order to be advised and registered. Even if students are exempt from the Reading, Writing and Math assessment tests, they must still take the ACT/Mathematics examination for placement purposes.
If a new student has been admitted but has not received a letter from UAPC inviting them to a testing session, he/she should contact the College Testing Office, 718-982-2380, regarding a testing appointment.
Appointments for advisement and registration for new students are given out in the testing sessions and later by mailings. If a student receives two appointments for advisement and registration, he/she may attend either one.
If a new student has taken the assessment tests but has not received an appointment for advisement and registration, he/she may call the Office of Academic Advisement, 718-982-2280, regarding an appointment.
Please be aware that new students will not be able to register if they have not taken all entrance and placement exams or if they have not submitted their Immunization records (MMR) and Meningitis Vaccination Response Form to the Health Center, which is
located in Building 1C, Room 112. Students should also take this opportunity to submit their Medical Certification Form for PED 190-Fitness for Life. All of these forms can be accessed and printed from the following websites:
