霍华德大学在7月下旬通知502名新生其入学位置被取消[1]，原因是这些学生未能按期完成注册和财务义务[1]。面对这一突发状况，多所高校迅速采取行动，为受影响学生提供替代入学机会。
纽约州州长科西·霍楚尔于7月27日宣布，受影响的纽约居民可以申请进入纽约城市大学（CUNY）和纽约州立大学（SUNY）[2]，并获得2026年秋季学期的加急录取审查[2]。纽约州立大学在水牛城、奥尔巴尼、水牛城州立大学、宾汉姆顿、欧内翁塔、石溪和新帕尔茨等校区提供加急录取审查[2]。哥伦比亚特区大学则将本科申请截止日期延至8月7日[1]。
参与的学校为每名符合条件的学生提供800美元学费抵免[1]，用于抵消已支付给霍华德大学但未退款的注册费[1]。霍华德大学表示将逐案审查，决定是否调整或恢复学生入学资格[1]。
Howard University notified over 500 first-year students that their admission positions would not be honored due to their failure to complete registration and financial obligations on time [1][2]. In response to this disruption, multiple institutions have moved to assist the affected students by expanding their recruitment efforts and offering financial relief.
The District of Columbia has extended undergraduate application deadlines [1]. New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on July 27 that affected state residents can apply for expedited admission review to the City University of New York (CUNY) and State University of New York (SUNY) for the fall 2026 semester [2]. Participating institutions will provide eligible students with an $800 tuition credit to offset registration fees already paid to Howard University that remain unreimbursed [1]. The expedited review process is being offered at multiple SUNY campuses including those in Buffalo, Albany, Binghamton, Oneonta, Stony Brook, and New Paltz [2]. Howard University indicated it will review cases individually to determine whether to adjust or restore students' enrollment status [1].
