Countdown to the Fall semester 

Things have changed. BMCC remains an open access and supportive community with rolling admissions, but our deadlines have changed for this Fall.

In an effort to ensure students have enough time to prepare for classes, select the schedules and classes that best support their needs, and move to college enrollment confidently, we have tightened our deadlines.

August 1st was the application deadline and all documents must be submitted by August 11th for students to be able to enroll in the traditional 15-week semester. Not to worry, we are offering Express Sessions, and it’s not too late for students to stack classes with their 15-week session or opt to take up to 9 credits through the Express Sessions.

Don’t wait until it’s too late, if your students have not already done so, submit their documents now at transcripts@bmcc.cuny.edu

BMCC Forging Relationships and Creating Pathways

During the month of July, BMCC Office of Admissions partnered with the Office of Student Pathways to facilitate professional development for hundreds of school leaders, educators, and counselors.

Over a two-week period, equity-minded teams shared their plight in supporting youth throughout the pandemic as well as exchanged best practices in addressing evolving needs on both institutional and individual levels.

BMCC Office of Admissions is fortunate to be thought partners in the important and ongoing work of building capacity and empowering youth. The insights gleaned from this experience will inform how BMCC will approach the upcoming recruitment cycle and may serve as the impetus for new initiatives.

New Programming at BMCC

Do you have students with academic developmental needs that could benefit from additional financial and academic supports? If so, CUNY is newly sponsoring the Jumpstart Program that will also be coming to you on BMCC’s campus.

The Jumpstart Program is a collaboration between CUNYStart/ MathStart and the Accelerated Study in Associate Program (ASAP). This program was developed to provide guidance to students who have been recommended to take co-requisite classes. A course structure in which students take both academic developmental programing with a credit bearing course.

Why might this be a good fit for your student? Students with developmental needs, can receive targeted program instruction aimed at raising proficiency in math, reading, and/or writing. This program will align students with early access to ASAP (which is coveted for their academic and financial supports to students and helping students to graduate on time).
