Spring on the York College campus

Refer a Spartan

Have a friend or family member apply to York by February 1, 2023

We know one of the best ways to build upon our amazing York College community is by working with our current students. We’d love for you to share your York College experience with friends and family members who may be looking into colleges, as either an incoming first-year or transfer student. After all, you already know how great it is to be a YCP Spartan, and there’s no one better to encourage them to take a look at the opportunities YCP offers, than you! 

That's why we’re launching the YCP Refer a Spartan program. As a current student, if you refer a new student to York, we’ll reward your referral with a Starbucks gift card! Referred students* (new applicants) can either submit a paper application (available in the Admission Welcome Center), or submit an online application
