CSTEP accepts students on a rolling basis, until the enrollment goal is met. This means that you are able to submit your CSTEP application anytime during the semesters, intersession or summer sessions. 

Once accepted, you become a CSTEP Scholar and will join peers and colleagues that have experienced success. You join the MCC and NY Statewide C/STEP family. Within this network, you will have access to resources beneficial to your educational journey.  

Incoming freshmen are also accepted through the CSTEP Summer Bridge program. This program is especially designed for High School senior that are accepted to MCC for the fall semester, to assist with the transition from high school to college.
