4 Steps to Register
Review your Degree Audit to learn which classes are needed for your major and make a list of courses you wish to take.
To access your degree audit go to: DegreeWorks.
Log-in using your CUNYfirst username (followed by @login.cuny.edu) and your CUNYfirst password.
If you notice any issues with your audit, please email dw@bcc.cuny.edu.
DegreeWorks is a computerized degree audit program and academic advising tool designed to assist in reviewing your degree progress. DegreeWorks reorganizes your transcript chronologically and categorically, easily identifying courses you have completed and those courses you still need to fulfill your degree requirements.
For more information, visit our Registrar’s DegreeWorks page.
Continuing students can make an appointment with their assigned academic advisor in Navigate: (https://www.bcc.cuny.edu/bcc-navigate//)
To log in, please use your full BCC email address (Jane.Smith@stu.bcc.cuny.edu) and password.
If you are unable to keep an advisement appointment, you must consult with your department for alternate advisement times.
Students must contact an advisor to discuss the required courses needed for the upcoming semester. Once you have met with an advisor, your advisement service indicator (hold) will be cleared for registration.

Log in to CUNYfirst to see the date and time that you may begin to register for classes. To register, select the Schedule Builder link on the Student Center page to open up the registration component. You can register online from home or an on-campus computer lab. All holds that affect enrollment must be cleared prior to enrolling.
Registration Navigational Steps
- Student Center > Schedule Builder
- Choose your registration term (e.g., Spring 2026).
- On the left-hand side of the screen, input the number for your desired course in the “Select Course” box.
- On the right-hand side of the page, in the calendar, you can block out the times that you are unable to take courses, by clicking on the time and days.
- On the left-hand side of “Schedule Results”, you have the option to view detailed class information by clicking “Class Details”. Alternatively, you can tailor the results to your liking by using the “Sort by” and “Filters” options.
- View the available class schedule shown. (Note: If there are multiple schedules available, you can utilize the arrows to view additional options. You can pin specific sections to your schedule, while viewing other options, by clicking on it)
- In order to finalize your registration, click “Get this Schedule” to proceed and then “Do Actions” to enroll. A response of “Success” indicates that you are officially enrolled, or waitlisted if the class is full.
Tuition charges will be billed to your student account and may be viewed online through CUNYfirst after registering for classes. Please select the Financial Account selection to view your bill. All students must pay their bill by the due date mentioned. For more information, view Tuition and Fees and Payment Options.
Waitlists
A waitlist is a record of students interested in adding a class that does not have available seats. If a class is full, students may have the option of joining a waitlist for that class (note that not all classes offer this option).
CUNYfirst will periodically look for classes which have an open seat. It will run a process which selects the next eligible student and enrolls them into the class. Don’t worry, as students drop the class, the system will not let other students “jump in” ahead of you and other waitlisted students. (note that even if you are next in the list, you will not be added to the class if a hold is present, or the requisites are not met.)
To check your status, log into CUNYfirst and navigate to Student Center > Course Planning and Enroll > View My Class Schedules. Make sure “Show Waitlisted Classes” is checked off. The status and position of your waitlist will appear under each course’s “Status” and “Waitlist Position”.
Students should remove themselves from waitlists for classes they no longer wish to add to their schedule. The wait list feature will be turned off on the first day of classes, and after that point, the wait list will not be used to determine course enrollment priority. Students are responsible for monitoring class availability after the wait list feature is made inactive and request enrollment during late registration.
Auditing a Course for Matriculated Undergraduate Students
A student may audit a course only with official approval. Audit request forms are available in the Registrar’s Office. Approval of the department chairperson is required. Students must register for an audit class in the same manner prescribed for regular classes. Students must also pay the required tuition and fees as if registering for credit in the course. Once registration is completed as an auditor, no credit for that course can be granted retroactively. Auditors are required to observe attendance regulations of the College and must participate in class to the extent deemed reasonable, desirable and necessary by the instructor.
How to Withdraw from a Class
Consult with your advisor if you are considering dropping a class. If you receive financial aid, consult with the Office of Financial Aid before dropping a class. Students may use Schedule Builder to drop classes from their schedule.
- Enter https://home.cunyfirst.cuny.edu in your browser’s address bar.
- Enter your Username and Password and click the Go icon.
- From the CUNYfirst Menu, select the Student Center link.
- Click the Course Planning and Enrollment link.
- Click the “Drop Classes” link.
- To drop a course, select the Trash Can icon next to the class that you want to drop.
- Click on “Get This Schedule” and then select “Do Actions”.
- If the class is successfully dropped, it will be stated in the “Result” field.
Types of Course Withdrawals
W (Official Withdrawal) – You may withdraw from classes after the last day to drop for a 25% tuition refund, up until the final withdrawal deadline. You will receive a ‘W’ grade, which will not be calculated into your GPA. Please note that students who officially withdraw from a course during this period are not eligible for a tuition refund.
WA (Administrative Withdrawal) – The final grade of WA (administrative withdrawal) is the administrative action taken due to non-compliance with State and University immunization or vaccination requirements. Students are financially liable for courses in which they receive a grade of WA.
WD (Withdraw Drop) — If you withdraw from a course after the Financial Aid Enrollment Status Certification date but before the last day to drop a course for a 25% tuition refund, you will receive a ‘WD’ grade. This grade will not appear on your official transcript and will not affect your GPA.
WN (Never Attended) — A ‘Withdrawn/Never Attended’ (WN) grade will be assigned if the faculty certifies that you never attended the class, as indicated on the Verification of Enrollment Roster. This grade will not appear on your official transcript and will not affect your GPA.
WU (Unofficial Withdrawal) — A grade of “WU” is to be assigned to students who participated in an academically related activity at least once, completely stopped attending at any time before the culminating academic experience of the course, i.e., final exam, final paper, etc., and did not officially withdraw.
