NYC DOE Fingerprinting Information

Dear Teacher Education Student,

The department has again received a grant to provide waivers so that you can be fingerprinted via the DOE.

 

If you are transferring to a School of Education, you will need to get fingerprinted before you can begin taking class in a CUNY 4 year school of education.  The cost of fingerprinting is normally $135.00. If you are interested in taking advantage of the free fingerprinting please follow the steps below:
