WASHINGTON \u2014 Days after Howard University notified hundreds of first-time-in-college students that their spots for the upcoming semester were no longer being held, other colleges and universities are stepping up to fill the gap for students who are scrambling to find other options.<\/p>\n

Keana Johnson is one of them.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old was looking forward to starting classes next month at Howard University as the next step on her educational journey and a way out of the New York City shelter where she lives. She told The Associated Press Tuesday that she may consider the University of the District of Columbia in Washington, which is extending its undergraduate application deadline to Aug. 7. She\u2019s also looking into historically Black colleges and universities in the South but realizes her options are limited and time is running short.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will still love to go to Howard,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI\u2019ve invested too much into going to that university to give up now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howard, one of about 100 historically Black colleges and universities in the United States, said Friday that it notified 502 first-time-in-college students that their spots for the upcoming semester were no longer being held. The school said the students had not met deadlines for enrollment and financial obligations.<\/p>\n

Howard also said students who believe their accounts did not reflect their financial standing should contact its financial aid office and that \u201ceach case will be reviewed individually to determine whether adjustments or reinstatement are appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Howard University has not responded to an AP request for the number of unenrolled students reinstated or the status of cases being reviewed.<\/p>\n

Johnson said she has emailed the school multiple times for answers she\u2019s yet to receive. \u201cI called every single office there is a number for,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Howard staff on the other end of the calls were of no help, Johnson said.<\/p>\n

The University of the District of Columbia, like Howard, is an HBCU and located in Washington. The public university has committed to offering a hand to students who especially need one right now, said Hasanna Tyus, the vice president of enrollment services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that college plans can change unexpectedly, and we want students to know that they still have options,\u201d Tyus said.<\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday that the State University of New York and City University of New York also are expediting late admissions reviews at some schools for state residents unenrolled by Howard.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Participating campuses also will provide an $800 credit per student to offset enrollment deposits paid to Howard that have not been refunded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York is home to the nation\u2019s finest systems of public higher education, and we are ready to welcome these talented students with the opportunity they deserve,\u201d Hochul said.<\/p>\n

Johnson, who is Black and uses \u201cStar\u201d as her preferred name, was notified in December of her admittance to Howard\u2019s nursing program for the fall 2026 semester.<\/p>\n

She said she doesn\u2019t live with either parent and has been staying at a homeless shelter for teens and young adults since early June while attending the Charter School of Educational Excellence in Yonkers.<\/p>\n

She still hopes to land at an HBCU.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main thing that kept me going was knowing I was going to end up at Howard,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s a community of peers that look like you and struggle like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
