Howard, one of about 100 historically Black colleges and universities in the U.S., has notified 502 students that their spots for the upcoming semester were no longer being held.

Howard University has re-enrolled at least 40 first-year students after it cancelled 502 students’ enrollment last week for missing a payment deadline.

SUNY, CUNY and U of the District of Columbia are offering support and enrollment opportunities to those affected by Howard’s decision to unenroll 502 incoming students.
