With summer registration beginning later as a result of converting to the new CUNYfirst system, the summer Session 1 tuition payment due date is being extended to 05/20/2013. However, please be aware that the payment message of "Due Now" that appears on your Account Inquiry screen, will remain. There will be no cancellation of students who have not paid their bill prior to 05/20/2013. 

Cashier hours of operation can be found at www.hunter.cuny.edu/bursar/services/cashier-services. If you have any questions, please reply to bursar@hunter.cuny.edu from your Hunter email account.

Due to scheduled maintenance, CUNYfirst will be offline and unavailable from 7 pm on Saturday, May 18 to 7 pm on Sunday, May 19. Note: The system may come back up as early as 4 pm on Sunday, May 19.

CUNYfirst Information for Students

  1. Fall 2013 registration appointment dates (enrollment dates) are now posted in CUNYfirst.
  2. Fall 2013 schedule of classes is now available but it is subject to change. 
  3. Instructors may now enter class permissions for fall 2013.

 

  • To register for classes, you must claim your CUNYfirst accounts. 
  • Once you claim your account, write down your CUNYfirst ID (an 8-digit number called Empl ID) or store it in your cell phone. You will need to know your Empl ID when seeing an advisor to obtain a class permission, etc.
IMPORTANT: To access the Student Center, you MUST click on HR/Campus Solutions on the first menu after you log in, then look under Self Service --> Student Center.

Searchable Schedule of Classes

  • To view the searchable schedule of classes, log into your CUNYfirst account (best viewed in Internet Explorer), select HR/Campus Solutions from the first menu after login, then click on Self Service ---> Student Center ---> Search for Classes (green button on the top right of the page.)

 

Need help claiming your CUNYfirst account/registering for classes?

  • "Registering for Classes via CUNYfirst" walk-in clinics are available to students. This walk-in clinic (no reservation necessary) covers how to claim your CUNYfirst account and how to search and register for classes in CUNYfirst. View the walk-in clinic schedule.

 

If you have started planning your classes, especially for summer 2013, using the old system (either eSIMS/eSchedule or Hunter's online schedule of classes), please note the following:

  • The "class/section code" used in eSIMS will not be used in CUNYfirst, instead the "Class Nbr" (4 or 5 digits) will be used and it will be different from the class/section code your may've found in eSIMS. For example, SOC 101 offered in summer 2013: eSIMS code is 0653 but CUNYfirst Class Nbr is 1961. Therefore, you need to search for the class/section in CUNYfirst again using the "subject area" (like "SOC") and part of the title (like "Intro").
  • The section number in CUNYfirst may be different from the section number you found in eSIMS, therefore, pay close attention to the class meeting times to locate the class/section you are interested in.
  • Textbook information may not be available as faculty are learning the new system as well. However, use CUNYfirst, not the Hunter online schedule of classes (as in the past), to look for the textbook information.
  • The CUNYfirst system does not provide space for additional information on classes (in the past known as "informed registration"), but instructors could use a small comment box on the textbook page for the additional class information.

NOTE:

  • To access Blackboard and CUNY Portal (to apply for permits etc.) you will still use the same username and password as you currently use.
  • Your NetID will also remain the same and you will continue to use it to access your Hunter e-mail account as well as Library resources when you're off-campus, among other things.
  • CUNYfirst will send messages ONLY to your Hunter e-mail account. Please be sure to check your Hunter e-mail frequently for time-sensitive information. To access your e-mail, go to webmail.hunter.cuny.edu.
We ask that you never share your CUNYfirst login information - not even with people you trust. Because CUNYfirst is a "fully integrated system," sharing your account login information will give others access to personal information, such as your social security number, wage/salary, home address, etc. Security within CUNYfirst is very strict and what each user is able to view is determined on a "need to know" basis. Sharing account information undermines this strict security and exposes users to identity theft.
