Stops/Holds
To see if you have any stops/holds on your record, log into your CUNYfirst account, then go to the Student Center in the Self Service area and look under "Holds" in the upper right corner of that page. Select "Details" to determine the academic or administrative office that issued the stop/hold on your record. Reconcile the stop/hold by calling or visiting the issuing office.
You may also see a "Negative Service Indicator" mark (a small red crossed out circle) in your CUNYfirst account, which implies that you have a hold/stop on your account. Click on the circle to determine the academic or administrative office that issued the stop/hold on your record. Reconcile the stop/hold by calling or visiting the issuing office.
If you see Negative Service Indicators on your record from other CUNY colleges, you will NOT be prohibited by the system from registering for classes at Hunter College.
