CUNY launched the Supports for Students with Conviction Records resource page to provide prospective and current students with conviction records, and those that support them, with a comprehensive repository of resources, tools, and opportunities at CUNY in an easily accessible format. The webpage outlines:
- Frequently Asked Questions about attending CUNY with a conviction record
- An overview of the education programs, opportunities, and services available across CUNY to support students at various points in their educational journey
- Resources around accessing and paying for college; employment, career, and licensure information; and connections to various external communities.
The content of the webpage was developed by the CUNY Justice Learning Collaborative. The CUNY Justice Learning Collaborative is a cross-university community of faculty, staff, administrators, and students led by the John Jay College Institute for Justice and Opportunity. Its purpose is to create a more equitable and accessible CUNY that is inclusive of those with lived experience in the criminal legal system.
