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:
|
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. |
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").
