City Tech Community Service Center: Hours & Fees

City Tech Community Service Center: Hours & Public Access

City Tech has not published a single confirmed public walk-in schedule for the Community Service Center entrance itself. An official City Tech Library exhibition page previously directed visitors to the 287 Jay Street Community Service Center entrance for security check-in. That does not establish unrestricted access to the building.

Which City Tech Office Should You Contact?

Quick guidance: If you need vocational training or a short professional certificate, start with Continuing Education. If you want an inexpensive dental hygiene appointment, contact the clinic directly. Current students seeking food assistance should contact N.E.S.T. rather than the course registration office.

What Services Does City Tech Offer the Community?

How to Register for a Course

Course Refunds, Cancellations and Important Rules

City Tech publishes a Continuing Studies refund policy. Understanding it before paying can prevent losing tuition money unnecessarily.

Written withdrawal requests must be sent to citytech.ceinfo03@citytech.cuny.edu. The college also lists an 80% attendance requirement and a passing grade or mark for successful course completion.

Read the official Continuing Studies refund, attendance and fee policies before completing checkout.

Free Adult Education: ESOL and High School Equivalency

City Tech’s Adult Learning Center offers two useful programs for residents looking to improve their education or employment opportunities.

Both programs are advertised as free through City Tech’s Adult Learning Center. Class availability, placement assessment, enrollment procedures and schedules may change.

Adult Learning Center telephone: 718-552-1140.

To begin, contact the Adult Learning Center, specify ESOL or HSE, ask about the next orientation or placement session, and follow its registration instructions.

Dental Hygiene Clinic: Hours, Appointments and Costs

City Tech operates a teaching clinic where supervised dental hygiene students provide preventive care to patients, including members of the public.

Clinic address: 285 Jay Street, Academic Building, A-701, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
Appointment phone: 718-260-5074.
Email: DentalHygiene@citytech.cuny.edu.

Book an Appointment

1. Call 718-260-5074 or email the clinic.
2. Ask which preventive dental hygiene services are currently available.
3. Confirm the treatment fee, any eligibility-based discounts, and whether medical clearance is required.
4. Choose an available appointment during the academic semester.
5. Arrive on time and allow enough time for supervised student assessment and treatment.

The clinic warns that patients arriving more than 30 minutes late or repeatedly missing appointments may lose future appointment eligibility. Notify staff promptly if you cannot attend.

N.E.S.T. Resource Center: Student Food Assistance

The N.E.S.T. Resource Center supports active CUNY students experiencing food insecurity. Its programs can help students and their families access groceries and additional basic-needs resources.

Location: General Building, Room G-414, 300 Jay Street.
Contact: 718-260-5764.

Grocery walk-in periods: Wednesday 5–6 PM and Friday 11 AM–2 PM. These are published student support hours and may change for holidays.

Students must complete the center’s intake form once per semester to establish eligibility. CUNY students should carry their current college identification.

Community Services vs. Recreation Centers: Know the Difference

City Tech primarily provides educational, workforce, clinical and student support services. It should not be confused with a traditional municipal recreation center offering day passes, a public swimming pool or routine event-hall rentals.

For example, visitors comparing education-focused community facilities may find our Brightwater Environmental Education and Community Center guide useful for understanding how a public education site handles tours, learning programs and event spaces. Brightwater is in Washington State, not New York.

If your actual goal is a community workshop or adult class, our Burlingame Community Center programs guide offers a separate example of municipal classes and registration in California.

Organizations comparing meeting-room facilities rather than educational services can use the Brookhurst Community Center rental and classroom guide as a reference for room capacities, facility fees and event arrangements in Anaheim.

For larger public lectures, theatre presentations or organized community events, the Buford Community Center venue and program guide illustrates an event-oriented facility in Georgia. These guides are service comparisons, not nearby alternatives to City Tech.

Checklist Before Visiting City Tech

• Identify whether your purpose is a class, clinic appointment, student resource, campus event or another college service.
• Use the correct department phone number instead of assuming one Community Service Center reception desk handles all services.
• Confirm your date, hours, appointment requirements and room number.
• Check the specific service fee rather than using unrelated college tuition rates.
• Bring appointment confirmation, required identification and any enrollment documents.
• Allow extra time for transit and security screening.
• If paying for a course, read the written cancellation and refund rules before checkout.
