First, if you are not yet a CSI student, you must apply to the College of Staten Island. You will receive an email inviting you to claim your CUNYfirst account. When you log-in to the CUNYfirst Student Center, you will see the CUNYfirst ID number, an 8-digit number, at the top of your self service screen. You will need this number to proceed with the Verrazzano application.

Second, complete this application form.

Third, you need to

• submit two confidential, typed letters of recommendation, one of which must be from a faculty member at your current or previous college or university (letters can be sent separately to our office via email or hard copy)
• submit a detailed resume listing significant work, extracurricular, community, and service activities (including dates of participation), honors and awards received
• submit official transcripts from prior universities or colleges attended (only if you are transferring from outside of CSI or CUNY)
• if you completed fewer than 12 equated credits in either of the previous two semesters, submit an additional statement explaining what led to the part-time status and how you plan to make up the credits in the future.
• submit one essay, one page maximum, telling us a little bit about yourself. Don’t just reiterate your resume or transcript; rather, describe who you are or who you want to be. What makes you tick? What are you passionate about? We would like to get a sense of you as the unique person you are.

When you complete the on-line application, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to submit these materials.
