Civil Service staff, College Assistants, and Tutors are fingerprinted the first time they are placed on a CUNY payroll. Fingerprinting will be done in the Office of Human Resources, prior to your first day of employment.
Fingerprint Processing Fees are $75.00 and is payable to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services by POSTAL MONEY ORDER only. Full-time CUNY students however, may be excused from fingerprinting and may have the fee waivedby presenting proof of student status each semester (ie. Bursar's receipt and class schedule.) Failure to submit required documents will delay being processed for payroll.
If you apply for more than one civil service position, you will be required to pay a processing fee for each position. If you have fingerprints on file, you will not have to have pay an additional fee for fingerprints provided there is no break in service of more than thirty (30) days.
For you convenience, the following hours are set aside for the employment packet/fingerprinting process:
10:00-11:30AM and 2:30-4:00 PM every Monday through Friday.
Application Processing fees are required for all civil service positions. The amount of the fee is based upon your annual salary.
| Appointee’s Hourly Rate | Processing Fee |
| From $ 8.47 to $15.07 | $10.00 |
| 15.08 and over | $15.00 |
The fee is payable to The City University of New York by POSTAL MONEY ORDER only. There are no exceptions to this CUNY procedure.
