New York Opens Fall 2026 Admission Door to Howard-Disenrolled Students

Governor Kathy Hochul announced that New York residents disenrolled from Howard University over missed tuition payments may seek Fall 2026 admission at CUNY and SUNY campuses, with expedited late-admission reviews at several SUNY schools (Buffalo, Albany, Buffalo State, Binghamton, Oneonta, Stony Brook, New Paltz) and others assessing capacity; about 502 students were affected by Howard’s July deadline, a situation connected to ongoing financial-aid and account-transition issues from 2025.

SUNY Chancellor Analyzes Fall Enrollment Amid COVID-19

SUNY Chancellor John King expresses cautious optimism about fall enrollment numbers, with final figures expected in the coming weeks. Enrollment has declined by nearly 100,000 students since 2012, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts to address this include automatic acceptance for graduating seniors and additional funding in the state budget. With the rise of COVID-19 cases and the emergence of new variants, SUNY is closely monitoring the situation and encourages vaccination and mask-wearing, particularly for those with health vulnerabilities. The university ended its vaccine mandate for in-person classes but still strongly encourages it for students and staff.

New York State's Varied Responses to Housing Asylum Seekers

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is considering using state properties, including SUNY and CUNY campuses, to temporarily house asylum seekers arriving in the state. The state budget has allocated $1 billion to local communities to help with the cost of housing asylum seekers. Republican governors in Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of asylum seekers to New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Republican county executives statewide criticized the Biden administration for failing to provide more information on the asylum seekers and failing to provide more funding to deal with them. The state is looking for potential longer-term housing for the asylum seekers.

SUNY campuses under consideration for housing migrants in New York.

New York State is considering using state-owned properties, including SUNY campuses and closed psychiatric centers, to house migrants as New York City struggles with the growing number of arrivals. Governor Kathy Hochul has directed agencies to find all available state properties to analyze whether they can be used for temporary or longer-term housing. However, local lawmakers have not been contacted and are not prepared to house and care for migrants at this time. St. Lawrence County has declared a state of emergency, but officials say they have limited funding to handle the situation.
