How to Enroll (Register) in CUNYfirst

Steps to Enroll in Courses 

  1. Log in to CUNYfirst by entering your username and password (see Tip #1 below) 
  2. From the Enterprise Menu on the left side select "Student Center." 
  3. Under ‘Academics’, click “Launch Schedule Builder” 
  4. Choose the term in which you would like to search for classes directly on the welcome page. Note: enrollment appointment dates and times are displayed under the term. 
  5. Home college should be pre-selected. 
  6. Choose your preferred instruction mode for your classes. 
  7. Click “Advanced Search” for more search options. Use the ‘Academic Career’ dropdown menu to search for Undergraduate OR Graduate classes. Other options are available to refine your search results. 
  8. In the Select Course or Keywords field, type the course number, subject name, title or instructor’s name. 
  9. Check off desired classes by clicking the box. 
  10. Repeat until you have selected all your desired classes (see Tip #2). 
  11. Click "Add Selected Courses" 
  12. Click “Generate Schedules” to view possible combinations of this schedule. Note: Asynchronous classes will not appear on the grid. ‘This schedule includes online classes’ will be displayed along the calendar grid to alert you of these classes. You can use the "Personal Time" feature to select times in which you don't want to take classes.
  13. Click "Get This Schedule." 
  14. Click on class to pin it to your schedule.  
  15. Click “Save as Favorite” to hold schedule. 
  16. Add classes to shopping cart and click “Validate Shopping Cart” to verify you are eligible for the class. 
  17. Click "Do Action" to enroll.      

                                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.

                                Tip #2

                                Adding a class to your shopping cart does not hold an open seat. To complete the registration, click "Do Action". Repeat as necessary until you have completed your registration.

                                Tip #3

                                Visit our Schedule Builder page for more information and FAQ on Schedule Builder.
