SUNY Offering Free Online Training Center for New Yorkers A new free, statewide campaign has been created to give New Yorkers a "clear pathway" to college and careers in a post-COVID economy. Registration is now open for students to enroll for the spring semester. Students that complete any of the Online Training Center certificates and hold a high school diploma or a high school equivalency credential will be automatically accepted to any of SUNY's 30 community colleges or SUNY Empire State College. What's even better? When I was applying to colleges, I feel like I spent an arm and a leg on application fees. Not only does this put students in the right direction by completing those training sessions, but having the application fee waived will be a huge sigh of relief for many.
