Home College

In addition to being a part of the program, each CUNY Baccalaureate student must be matriculated at one of the CUNY colleges; the college of matriculation is known as the home college. The home college is where the student pays all tuition and fees, receives support services, participates in extracurricular activities like clubs and athletics, and handles all non-academic matters, such as financial aid.

A community college may be the home college until a student has earned an associate’s degree or accumulated 68 credits, whichever comes first. At that point, the student must officially transfer to a senior college (4-year college), which becomes the new home college.

Tuition

CUNY BA does not have a separate tuition rate. CUNY BA students pay tuition at their home college, at the same rate as their home college.

Financial Aid

CUNY BA students apply for financial aid (FAFSA, etc.) at their home colleges. The CUNY BA program does not administer financial aid, but it does offer a number of scholarships only available to the CUNY BA community.
