Good morning,
Enrollment:
This chart below reflects our Fall 2026 numbers as of September 6, 2026.
In addition, I've attached the CUNY Dashboard Report, also dated 9-6-26.
This report compares our enrollment with the other CUNY colleges.
Enrollment Target:
Our Enrollment Target is 6,750 students; we are currently at 7,156 students.
Final enrollment numbers are locked in by CUNY. This is referred to as FORM A.
This is 21 days after classes begin. We expect this to be on or around September 28th.
