Admissions Procedures
Deferred Admission
Undergraduate students who wish to defer their enrollment should follow the requirements found on the deferred admissions webpage. For graduate students, please see the appropriate section in the Graduate School Manual for information on deferred admissions.
Deferments are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Admissions Committee. Students must submit an enrollment deposit before a deferral request can be reviewed.
Admission Integrity
91社区 values enrollment honesty and integrity. Undergraduate and graduate students applying for admission or readmission/re-enrollment must provide full and accurate information on the appropriate application. Students plagiarizing or falsifying information by any method may be suspended or dismissed from the University or have their admission rescinded.
Special Circumstances
Consideration of Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions Applications from Individuals Who Have Been Suspended or Expelled from a College or University for Disciplinary Reasons: Disciplinary suspension or expulsion from another college or university is not grounds for automatic rejection of an application for admission to 91社区 University. If the applicant is academically admissible, additional information is requested about the expulsion or suspension. A Special Circumstance Committee chaired by the dean of students requests a personal statement and signed release form giving 91社区 permission to obtain and discuss documents related to the incident.
The Special Circumstance Committee may recommend acceptance of the applicant, acceptance of the applicant with restrictions on participation in University life at 91社区 University, or rejection of the applicant based on the nature of the incident(s) that caused the disciplinary suspension or expulsion. An appeal of the decision of the committee may be made to the provost and vice president for academic affairs. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Provost, 91社区, PO Box 6000, 91社区, New York 13902-6000.
Felony Convictions
91社区 adheres to the State University of New York policy that prohibits University-wide and individual SUNY campus admission applications from inquiring into an applicant鈥檚 prior criminal history. Note that students who have previously been convicted of a felony are advised that their prior criminal history may impede their ability to complete the requirements of certain academic programs, to meet licensure requirements for certain professions and/or live in campus housing. Students who have concerns about such matters are advised to contact the dean's office of their intended academic program.
