Some of New York City’s public and private colleges will be offering students credits for helping illegal immigrants file asylum claims, Mayor Eric Adams’ office announced Tuesday.

Starting this fall semester, students at Baruch College, City College, Hunter College, Queens College, Columbia University, New York Law School, and New York University may get credit if they volunteer to help migrants with their asylum paperwork, according to the mayor’s office.
