How to Readmit
Students who have left BCC for one or more semesters must apply for readmission by submitting a completed readmission application. The Office of the Bursar will bill all students readmitting to the College a $20 non-refundable fee. The readmission fee will be billed to your CUNYfirst account.
Note that if a student has any “HOLDS” on their record, it must be cleared prior to submitting the Readmission Application.
| Semester/Session | Application Priority Deadline |
|---|---|
| Fall (September–December) | August 15 |
| Spring (February–May) | January 15 |
| Summer (June–August) | May 15 |
Complete the Readmission Form.
Readmission is the process for previously enrolled students who have been inactive for at least one semester to officially return to continue their educational pursuits.
Note: If you have already earned your Associate’s Degree, you should either apply to begin a second degree or take courses as a non-degree student.
Any formerly enrolled Bronx Community College student, with the exception of those students who have been academically dismissed from the college twice, may apply for Readmission.
Enrollment cannot be completed until all negative service indicators on a student’s record have been cleared.

Prior to submitting the readmission application, students must clear any holds (Bursar, Financial Aid, Library or Satisfactory Progress).
If you attended a non-CUNY college while away from BCC, you will need to submit an official transcript for transfer credit evaluation.
Once your readmission application has been processed, you will receive an official email from the Office of the Registrar. You can only be advised once your readmission application has been processed.
If you have not attended Bronx Community College for two semesters or more, you may need to re-establish your residency for tuition purposes. You can find fillable residency forms and instructions at: http://www.bcc.cuny.edu/registrar/residency/
