Holds will prevent you from enrolling into courses, and some of these holds may require additional time to be processed. You only need to clear holds from Lehman College - disregard holds from other schools that may be shown. To access your holds, go to your CUNYfirst Student Center and select "Tasks and Holds."

MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella)

You must submit proof of MMR immunization to the Student Health Center. Send a clear picture of your vaccine card to med.requirements@lehman.cuny.edu. You must include your full name and EMPLID in your email. Make sure that your full name and date of birth are shown on the vaccine card. Don't have access to your immunization card? Contact the Student Health Center for instructions on how to clear your MMR hold.

Missing Meningitis Acknowledgement Form 

Whether you decide to provide proof of meningitis vaccine, you are required to complete a Meningitis response form which could be accessed in your to-dos.

Admissions Holds

The Office of Admissions notifies students via email if additional documents are needed. Any documents missing from your application file will result in a hold (negative service indicator) on your academic record which will prevent you from registering. Submit the scanned requested document(s) via our Undergraduate Admissions File Drop. When scanning the document(s), be sure to use a solid-colored background and avoid any shadows or other objects in the image.

Major Declaration 

Students must declare an Academic Plan (major) by the time they earn or transfer 60 credits (a combination of credits earned and credits currently in progress). This is most important for students receiving state aid. Please schedule an advising appointment to learn more about the process in which to declare a major.

PLEASE NOTE: For students interested in the Nursing or Social Work programs, an additional application is required for the respective department once you are accepted to Lehman College. Before submitting an application to the Nursing program or Social Work program, students must meet the eligibility and admission requirements specific to the program they wish to apply for. After fulfilling the prerequisites and eligibility criteria for the desired program, we highly recommend submitting the departmental application well in advance of the application deadline for the Nursing program.

If your TCE includes a course ending with "8888" (e.g., ENG 8888), this course does not yet have a Lehman College equivalent. These courses have been forwarded to Lehman College faculty and await their review.

Please visit your Lehman 360 page to view the eTransfer Credit Evaluation section to check the status of your course(s). Courses that indicate a “Pending” or “Completed” status have already been sent to the appropriate academic department for their review.

Courses that indicate an “Action Needed by Student” status require you to take action because we cannot obtain the course description. This should be completed by the start of the semester.

Transfer and Second Degree students are encouraged to meet with their onboarding academic advisor to discuss their transferred credits, registration roadblocks, and plan for their first semester. You can schedule an appointment with your assigned Onboarding Academic Advisor via Navigate. 

Major Advisement

Visit the departments where you might major and discuss the major requirements with a department advisor. For starters, refer to list of the major requirements from the Undergraduate Bulletin.

If English is not your first language, you may be required to take an English placement test in the Office of Academic Testing located in the APEX building, room 240. Check with your Onboarding Academic Advisor and see if you are required to take an English placement test.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

If you have not applied for FAFSA, you must first obtain a FSA ID to electronically sign your FAFSA here. Make sure to update the Lehman College School Code "007022" in your FAFSA application. FAFSA application must be renewed every academic year. If you have questions about your FAFSA application, please connect with the Financial Aid Office here.

Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) 

You need to complete a separate application for TAP (it is not the same as FAFSA). Applicants are required to apply annually to the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC). HESC then determines the applicant's eligibility. Make sure to update the Lehman TAP School Code "1412" in your TAP application. For more information about your TAP application or eligibility, visit Lehman's TAP Office or email Tap.Audit@lehman.cuny.edu.

Scholarships 

Lehman College offers a wide range of institutional scholarships to eligible students. Requirements for specific scholarships may vary. These awards are processed through the Scholarship Office.

Once you have completed your FAFSA and TAP applications, make sure you reach out to both offices to confirm you are eligible for aid. You can review eligibility requirements for Federal Aid here and for TAP (state aid) here.

Make sure you are aware of all deadlines for tuition payment by regularly checking your Lehman email and the Academic Calendar.

To understand your tuition costs and aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office and/or Bursar Office if needed.
