What is CUNYfirst?

The "first" in CUNYfirst stands for Fully Integrated Resources and Services Tool.  New CUNYfirst processes in Student Administration, Human Resources and Finance will change how we do everything from registering for classes to paying our bills.  CUNYfirst applications will replace aging legacy systems like SIMS and CUPS, and help us streamline and standardize many of the things we do at Hunter College.

When will CUNYfirst be in place?

The PeopleSoft™ processes that our students, faculty and staff will interact with will be implemented in phases – we will create our base processes for business, HR and academic structure first, then add new elements (modules) in the next few years.  This Project is planned to extend through early 2012, with ongoing processes and upgrades expected to continue for the forseeable future.

The first phase wasl General Ledger, which was implemented at Hunter College (and all other CUNY colleges) in 2008. The Human Capital Management pillar (Human Resources), including self-service options and talent acquisition were added in mid 2009.
