NEW YORK HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TO RECEIVE AUTOMATIC AC­CEP­TANCE TO COMMUNITY
COLLEGES

By Nick Reisman New York State
PUBLISHED 5:57 PM ET Jun. 01, 2023 PUBLISHED 5:57 PM EDT Jun. 01, 2023

Graduating high school seniors outside of New York City in the coming days will
be automatically accepted to their local community college as public higher
education officials seek to boost college and university enrollment. 

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday the plan that was initially outlined this
week by State University of New York Chancellor John King during his state of
the university address this week. 

"Access to quality higher education is an engine for social mobility and we are
taking comprehensive steps to ensure that college is affordable and accessible
for students from all backgrounds," Hochul said. "My administration remains
committed to removing barriers and easing the pathway to higher education for
all high school seniors - lifting up students to build a brighter future for
themselves and New York."  

Letters will be sent in the coming days to 125,000 graduating students in New
York. The City University of New York earlier in May announced it will be
sending 65,000 seniors on pace to graduate personalized letters informing them
of their acceptance to the system as well. 

New York lawmakers and Hochul in May agreed to a budget that boosted operating
aid to public colleges and universities in New York to more than $1.3 billion,
an allocation that also turned back a proposed increase in tuition for in-state
students initially proposed by Hochul. 

Officials at SUNY have sought to stress how an undergraduate or graduate degree
can be beneficial over a lifetime. 

"There is a place for every New Yorker at SUNY, and we are excited to make
college an easy decision because our high school seniors and their parents
understand their options," said King. "High-demand jobs increasingly require a
college education, and thanks to New York's generous financial aid offerings,
SUNY is an extraordinary value proposition."
