College Now

Description: College Now is a collaborative program of the City University of New York (CUNY) and the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE).

How does College Now work?

The program then offers eligible students a number of ways to improve their high school performance and get a jumpstart on college. All College Now courses and activities are FREE to eligible students.

College Now students:

* take academic courses (both for high school and college credit)
*build skills that will help them succeed in high school AND college
