How to Apply

Becoming a summer scholar is easy! Apply or register online.


Which application should I complete?

  • New Freshman app: Freshman students have never registered for or taken any post-secondary coursework after completing high school.
  • New Transfer app: Transfer students have registered for or completed some post-secondary coursework after completing high school and intend to earn credits toward a BMCC degree. If you have attained any post-secondary degree, and intend to complete another degree through BMCC, please apply as a transfer student.
  • Non-Degree app: Non-degree students have completed high school (or equivalent) and wish to take a course for their own enrichment, but not earn any credit toward a BMCC degree. Common non-degree applicants include visiting students from other institutions and students who have already earned a degree.

Readmission for past BMCC students (degree-seeking and non-degree)

If you have taken classes and earned grades at BMCC in the past, but skipped a semester or stopped attending, we’d love to welcome you back to campus! If you last attended in spring 2022, summer 2022 or fall 2022, you an reach out to Academic Advisement at aatc@bmcc.cuny.edu to set up an appointment to discuss your academic plan, so you can register for summer classes.

If you last attended prior to spring 2022, to take summer classes you will need to complete a readmit form. A $20 readmission fee will be added to your tuition bill. Then, you may register for classes using CUNYfirst.

If you have taken courses as a non-degree student before, but not every semester, you must complete a readmit form before registering for classes.
