CUNYfirst

Using The Student Center

Each student has an individual record in CUNYfirst, and only one record. For example, if you take classes at more than one CUNY college, your registration, financial and personal information will appear under your single student account for each college. If you transfer to another CUNY college, you will use your same username and password to access your student account, which will now include the new transfer college information.

Additionally, you can:

• View your complete student record, and an unofficial transcript can be downloaded and printed.
• Make appointments with faculty via CUNYfirst, and schedule times convenient to both of you.
• See your complete financial profile, including any financial aid in place for you.
• View your tuition and fee balance, and pay by credit card online.
• Receive live information streams and communications that let you easily stay connected.
