Admission Requirements

Fall 2021

CUNY New York City College of Technology uses the following list of admission requirements and recommended documents when evaluating students' applications. All documents listed under the Required sections must be submitted with your application, but those listed under the Recommended section are optional.

In contrast to the most common test-optional policies, NYCCT operates as a test-blind college. This means that it does not consider or require SAT or ACT scores for admission purposes.

The primary motivation behind test-blind policies is to promote equity and inclusivity in the admissions process.
