Orientation provides incoming students the opportunity to become familiar with campus resources and make connections with new and continuing students, faculty, and staff before beginning classes. Immediately following orientation, students will participate in the mandatory intensive training academy, which provides us the opportunity to cover material that is not covered elsewhere in the curriculum and to ensure you have the tools necessary to begin the program.

All new students are required to attend all orientation and intensive training academy sessions. Please note, failure to attend required sessions and workshops may result in the rescinding of your admissions offer. The Class of 2023 orientation and intensive training academy dates are Monday, August 8, 2022 – Monday, August 22, 2022 (weekends off) from 9am-5pm. The orientation and intensive training academy schedules will be shared with students in early July.

Official transcripts from all previous institutions must be submitted by Thursday, July 28, 2022. Degree confer date must show on the transcript where you have completed your degree. Please note, only transcripts sent directly from the previous institution’s Registrar’s Office are official. Any transcripts uploaded by the applicant is unofficial. Please send official transcripts electronically to admissions@journalism.cuny.edu, as the Office of Admissions is currently working remotely.
