Students who have spent a minimum of one semester as pre-clinical students at New York City Technical College will be given preference. Transfer students will be accommodated if they are CUNY certified in mathematics and have a cumulative average of 2.0 or higher, provided there are places remaining in the first semester of the clinical program. If the number of students meeting the stated criteria exceeds the available places in the clinical program, seats will be allocated on the basis of the highest cumulative academic average. Please note that pre-clinical studies must be completed in a maximum of four semesters after admission to the program. A minimum grade of C in each course designated with the prefix OD will be required for progression in and graduation from the ophthalmic dispensing program.
Additional information is available in the Ophthalmic Dispensing Student Handbook.
