5 Easy 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 student 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 the DegreeWorks Coordinator.

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: Online Advisement – DegreeWorks.

2. Log in to OSSES to View Your Department’s Advising Schedule.

 If you are unable to keep an advisement appointment, you must consult with your department for alternate advisement times.

3. Contact your ASAP advisor, Faculty academic advisor or Success Coach

Students must contact an advisor to discuss the required courses needed for the upcoming semester. Be sure to have your degree audit with you at the advisement meeting. Once you have met with an advisor, your advisement service indicator (hold) will be cleared for registration.

4. Search for Your Classes and then Register.

Explore our on-campus and online offerings available for in-demand subjects, such as cybersecurity, business, science, and more! Check out all of the term options available when you’re planning your schedule.=

Log in to CUNYfirst to see the date and time that you may begin to register for classes. To register, select the enroll 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

• HR/Campus Solutions > Self Service > Enrollment > Enrollment: Add Classes
• Choose your registration term (e.g., Fall 2021) and select Continue.
• Click the green Search button to search the schedule of classes.
• Under Search Criteria, select at least 2 search fields (subject, course number).
• To further refine your search, select Additional Search Criteria. Select Search.
• Review the search result and choose the sections that best fit your schedule.
• Once you have made your selection, choose Select Class.
• Select Next to add the class to your Shopping Cart.
• Keep adding classes to your Shopping Cart until you have selected all the classes needed for registration.

Important Note: Adding classes to your shopping cart does not confirm enrollment. Your registration is not complete until you click Finish Enrolling.

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.)

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 a designated date, 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.

5. Pay Your Tuition and Fees

Tuition charges will be billed to your student account and may be viewed online through CUNYfirst after registering for classes. All students must pay their bill by the due date on the bill. Click here for Tuition and Fees and Payment Options.

Registration Information for Non-Degree Students or Visiting Students
