Filing an Application

Freshman Applications

Students may obtain a freshman application form from CSI, their high school guidance office, or the CUNY Office of Admissions Services (OAS). The application, a school transcript, and a non-refundable application fee of $65 must be mailed to the UAPC at the following address:

University Application Processing Center (UAPC)

Box 350136

Brooklyn, NY 11235-0001

Applicants may apply online at https://portal.cuny.edu. CSI has continuous admissions; however, applications should be filed early.

Transfer Applications

The College of Staten Island accepts transfer applications from students who have attended an accredited post secondary institution. Students who are currently attending or who have previously attended a college of The City University of New York should apply through the registrar's office of the college attended, using the standard transfer application form of the CUNY Office of Admission Services.

Students must meet the standards of proficiency in the basic skills areas of reading, writing, and mathematics established by the University and pass the CUNY Proficiency Examination to transfer to a bachelor's degree program.

Transfer students from colleges outside CUNY can obtain an application from the CSI Office of Recruitment and Admissions. This form and official transcripts of all previous college work should be sent to the UAPC (address above). The fee for transfer applications is $70. Please see also the statement on the CUNY Proficiency Examination in the Academic Policies section of this catalog.

Non-Degree (Non-Matriculated) Applications

Non-matriculated (non-degree) students may obtain an Undergraduate Non-Degree application from The Hub in Building 2A, Room 106; online at www.csi.cuny.edu/registrar/importantforms.htm; or at the time of registration.
