Schedule Changes: All Brooklyn Honors students have an HONOR hold on their accounts to ensure that schedule changes are made with their advisor. The deadline to make schedule changes is September 3rd.

Tuition and Fees: When you log onto CUNYfirst and look at your financial screen, you will see that you have a balance on your account. You are only responsible for paying the student fees, which equal the entire balance less the tuition (listed as Undergraduate Resident Fee) charge of $3465. You can pay the fees before the semester begins in CUNYfirst by going to Student Center> Financial Accounts> Payment Plan. Make sure pop-ups are enabled in your browser when doing this.
More details about student fees can be found here: http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/about/offices/bursar/tuition/undergraduate.php.

Your Macaulay Scholarship will be posted to your account closer to the Fall term. Until then you must make sure you have filed the FAFSA and TAP, even if you know you aren’t eligible for aid. You can check your CUNYfirst Tasks and Holds tab for any follow up items you need to address.

The total of the Macaulay tuition scholarship is tuition charges remaining after financial aid and other scholarships, including federal, state, and local scholarships and grants, and those awarded by or through CUNY, its schools, and affiliated entities apply to the tuition costs. More information can be found at this link.

Please do not declare a major over the summer.  If you get an email asking you to do this, forward it to your advisor.  Declaring your major too early can cause complications, especially if you receive TAP or PELL.  Always consult your advisor first.

AP and College Credits:

  • If you have taken any other college level courses,  you can email the unofficial transcript to tcevaluation@brooklyn.cuny.edu
  • If you receive AP credits for a class you are already enrolled in, let us know so we can determine whether it’s best for you to change your schedule or deny the AP credits. Remember, only a 5 on AP English can exempt you from ENGL 1010, and we still recommend taking the course in an honors section for all MHC students.
