Extends SUNY And CUNY Admission To Students Disenrolled From Howard University Gov. Kathy Hochul is directing New York's public university systems to fast-track admissions. New York is moving quickly to support students impacted by Howard University’s decision to disenroll more than 500 incoming first-year students just weeks before the start of the fall semester. Kathy Hochul announced July 27 that she has directed the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) systems to expedite admissions for students affected by Howard’s enrollment decision, ensuring eligible New York residents have another path to begin college this fall. New York residents affected by Howard’s decision will also be eligible for an $800 credit to offset the nonrefundable enrollment deposit they paid to Howard University.
