How to Enroll (Register) in CUNYfirst

Enrollment Actions

Enroll

This action is selected when you want to add a course; see the detailed step-by-step instructions below.

Drop

This action is selected when you want to remove (or withdraw) from a course. Make sure to consult the academic calendar for drop and withdrawal dates.

Swap

This action is used to exchange one course for another. This action will not allow the first course to drop unless the second course can be added. If the second course returns any error, the first course will not be dropped. This is the only way course changes should be attempted; doing so via individual enroll and drop actions can result in the loss of classes.

Enrollment Tips

Tip #1

CUNYfirst does not support Google Chrome; use Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. Confirm the browser is set to allow pop-ups from the CUNYfirst site.

Adding a class to your shopping cart does not hold an open seat. To complete the registration for each class as you select it, click "Enroll" after adding each class to your shopping cart. Repeat as necessary until you have completed your registration.
