One or two in college?

Paying for College

<p>When filling out FAFSA, if a sibling is at a four-year CUNY, are there one or two students in college?</p>

<p>Two .</p>

<p>Is the CUNY student a matriculated student working on a degree going full time? Isn’t THAT what that question means? If the CUNY student is only taking a class or two, I don’t believe the answer is two. We had to send documentation that our second kids were in college full time to the other sibs school each year.</p>

<p>Full-time, matriculated, working toward a bachelor’s degree. But it’s never been clear to me if CUNY is considered community college and that’s how the question is worded on one college’s calculator, and the FAFSA itself doesn’t clarify.</p>

<p>Zooser, I don’t think it matters whether the sibling is at community college or a four year college as long as they are attending full time and are working towards a degree.</p>

<p>Ohhhhhh. Thanks Thumper.</p>

<p>In any event, CUNY is not a community college.</p>

<p>By which I should clarify saying – there are some CUNY community colleges, but if your son/daughter goes to one of the four-year institutions under CUNY (or the graduate centers), then no one can consider their school a community college. The only schools “considered” community colleges are actual community colleges, which are two-year public colleges.</p>
