Summary

  • 502 incoming Howard freshmen lost their spots after missing a July 10 deadline to join a first-semester payment plan, prompting New York to open late admissions at SUNY and CUNY.
  • New York residents whose Howard enrollment was canceled will be automatically accepted at available SUNY campuses, while out-of-state students are being offered an expedited admissions process.
  • University at Albany, SUNY Stony Brook and the University at Buffalo are among the participating campuses taking students weeks before the fall semester begins.
  • The move gives students like 19-year-old Bronx resident Yasmine Payano a last-minute path to enroll after Howard withdrew members of its class of 2030.
