As the University continues to move toward CUNYfirst "full admissions", the CUNY Application is one of the next items on the list to receive an overhaul. This document is a recommendation for necessary features as suggested by Hunter College.

1. MUST
HAVE
FEATURES
7
for the CUNY APPLICATION
^

2. #7
CAMPUS-
SPECIFIC
CONTENT
Students must have access to basic campus-specific information such as deadlines,
selective program requirements, and contact info without the need to exit the CUNY
Application or jump to an external website.

3. #6 SELF-
REPORTED DATA
The CUNY Application must feature the
ability for students to self-report
academic data such as SAT/ACT,
Regents, and TOEFL test scores, grades,
and class rank. Students should be
made aware how this information will be
used in the admission review and how
verification will take place.

4. #5
MOBILE
ACCESSThe CUNY Application must be optimized for
mobile devices. Options include responsive web
design, a mobile application, or a mobile mini-site.

5. #4
CLOUD
INTEGRATION
Students must have the ability to upload
supporting documents to the CUNY
Application directly from a number of popular
cloud storage applications.

6. #3
SOCIAL
MEDIA
INTEGRATIONThe CUNY Application should provide a means for colleges to leverage social
media. Social media buttons could allow students to share the excitement of
applying to college with their friends and family while they are still “in the moment.”

7. #2
CUSTOM
REPORTS
Each college must have access to view real-time application data and reports that
can be easily customized to suit the needs of the individual college.

8. #1
HOBSONS
CRM SYNC
A nightly sync between the CUNY Application and the current University-approved
CRM is required in order to communicate with students throughout their college
application progress.
