Enrollment & Retention Management Update - November 2025
11/1/2025
Dear Campus Community,
Please find attached the Enrollment & Retention Management Update for November 2025.
In addition to reporting enrollment targets, we are also providing a list of important dates and recruitment activities.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information.
Enrollment:
This chart below reflects our Spring 2026 numbers as of November 1, 2025.
In addition, I've attached the CUNY Dashboard Report, also dated 11-1-25.
This report compares our enrollment with the other CUNY colleges.
Please note there has been a slight adjustment to the Spring 2026 enrollment targets to align with the financial targets that were submitted to CUNY.
Enrollment and Retention Reminders:
Admissions Application Fee - CUNY is waiving the Admissions Application Fee. See dates below:
- New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) - Oct. 27 - Nov. 21
- Non-NYCPS including Yeshivas and Private schools - Nov. 11 - Nov. 21
Readmission Fee - the college is waiving the $20 readmission fee for Spring 2026 to remove that financial barrier for students who wish to return.
Admissions Funnel
The admissions funnel indicates the number of student applications vs admitted vs committed to the college as compared to last year.
Admissions staff work on contacting students to help them move through the funnel.
