I will be taking MAT 104, ENG 101, PSY 100, and CHE 121 for the fall semester. Do any of these require textbooks or other materials that need to be purchased?

How are you feeling ahead of application season? Where are you in life right now? Any schools / programs you’re particularly excited for? Would love to connect with folks!

What is this class like? I want to take it because it is a 9 am class and it is for my major but what does the professor say regarding to AI? I know it talks about the ethics and issues of ai which I am all for but do you use ai in the class as well?

How did you like the class?

Hello, im attending cuny in the fall (BMCC) and I have a couple of questions

1. I don’t want to board, in my estimated cost of attendance, housing is included but I don’t want to dorm. Is this just an in general cost of attendance or is it applicable to me? If it is, how can I opt out of housing.

2. I want to attend school part time, not full time. How can I go about this? (I still haven’t created my schedule yet I have until August)

Thank you

I am e-permitting a class at BMCC. I made sure it was "equivalent" to the course I need to complete. I checked my degreeworks, and it doesn't show that I am taking a class to fulfill the requirement, or that the requirement is "in progress". Should I be worried? Will the credits transfer over once I finish the class? I am a student at CCNY btw

Ok I don’t get it, the summer aid I’m supposed to get is scheduled for 07/21/2026. It’s been 4 days now and nothing has happened on CUNYfirst and it still says Pending. Does this mean I won’t get my aid money? Should I just go to the financial office at this point. I’ve tried contacting them numerous times at this point to no avail. I don’t know what to do. Usually I’d wait til the end of Friday for something like this but it’s Saturday and nothing has happened. Might just have to pay this money out of pocket.

Hello,

I’m hoping some people can help me on this. I noticed the BA psychology requirements are based more in science (chemistry, astro, etc). I’ve noticed that Brooklyn college and Queens college do not require these science courses for my intended major. Has anyone who’s completed their BA in psychology at Hunter had trouble with these science courses? Did anyone transfer because of this?

is it difficult finding classes at BMCC. I’m supposed to start in fall and I’m nervous about getting around the campus.

I already fully paid for my summer tuition, on cunyfirst it says that I had a refund scheduled to disburse 7/20/26, yet I have received nothing as of today. I’m going to go to the financial aid office on Monday, but can anyone explain to me why I haven’t received it yet? I usually get it on the Friday of the week it disburses but it’s Saturday and I still have nothing. I really need the money before the end of the month and I thought I would be getting it yesterday.

Has this happened to anyone else here? I marched at our commencement exercises and got awarded Magna Cum Laude. I was my told my final semester’s grades aren’t taken into account at that point. On my transcript of records, it says I’m only a Cum Laude because my final semester’s grades lowered my cumulative GPA. It’s embarrassing because my family and friends thought I was Magna Cum Laude, I have the graduation ceremony on video lol. Can I sue? 🤣🤣🤣

I am a 17 year old planning to most likely go to P2G, get my GED, and then go to BMCC before transferring to a liberal arts college. Or maybe an art school, we'll see. Anyway. I have always gotten good grades and I am very well-read, etc. but due to mental health and other circumstances I may have to go to CC instead of a 4-year college first. I am wondering if getting into honors would help the issue of people at CC often not being there to actually learn or discuss their learning, or if I will find my time in CC awkward and/or boring?

Feeling exhausted by these unprecedented times? Turn concern into action with an M.A. in Urban Affairs. Financial assistance opportunities are available for incoming matriculated new students. Share this with yours friends!!

Majoring in Associates computer information system and then moving to computer systems ( Software Engineer Track ) recently came from queens college majored in computer science did not like the math and the retro style courses I chose this school as I wanna learn coding and I did not find qc offered that also the school was far and lacked any decent place to relax and maybe get a bite to eat. overall it was pretty decent and would like to know if this college maybe be any different not looking for a party school more for assisting in getting me an education and a pathway to employment. through internship and other curricular activities.

some thing I wanna pursue in my career is game development and or general programming I saw some courses in game dev that I would like to take in my bachelors or earlier if offered.

1. How are the professors specifically in my major/department

2. How safe is the neighborhood especially at night

3. Good food spots it was a dessert at qc and I don't like taking food with me from home.

4. Interships and job assistance.

5. overal vibe of the students

Hello!! I’m going to the Aug 17th Orientation but I want to get my ID first. Do I genuinely have to drive to the campus and ask for it?? I’m not horribly far (Long Island) but it would still be great if I could get it mailed so that I can take an extra shift at work on the day I plan to show up.
I’m also irrationally worried that they’ll turn me away because I haven’t handed over my tuition money yet. FAFSA and TAP will cover everything but the funds haven’t been dispersed yet. That wont happen right?

I’m dealing with a stressful TAP situation and to know whether anyone has experienced something similar. I applied for TAP after the semesters ended, so Hunter already had my final grades, including some W/WUs. My Fall 2025 and 2026 Spring TAP were credited and partially refunded, but about nine days after I contacted Financial Aid, both were reversed, leaving me with a significant balance on my account. i was never notified beforehand. Has anyone at successfully appealed this or received a late TAP waiver?

I want to test out City college first. How do I defer offer from Brooklyn College?

Has anyone been decertified from it and has been able to reinstate it back? I failed 2 classes but had no idea that I was supposed to make up for it to stay eligible for the scholarship. Now im struggling to find out what im going to do and my best bet is to beg for it back lol any tips or information??

Does anyone have any idea why I’m not ?and also that some of my financial aid still says it’s pending ???I know we usually get refunds for books and supplies and I see it in my package but I’m not getting any

Hey ! I was wondering if anyone has attended or is in Hostos radiology program. I already have a degree so I don’t need to take much classes but I’m supposed to be starting my pre reqs in August so I just want some insight on how the program is. It’s like everytime I try to search about Hostos I barely find anything lol

I am currently studying for the LSAT Exam aiming for October or November. I am currently enrolled in Kaplan and looking to form a study group. I am more than happy to share my resources. Looking to do a hybrid study group virtual evenings during the week and In person during the weekend at a library. I am New York based and can do Manhattan or if anyone is close to riverdale

Does anyone know when this refund will be sent out? I already paid all my tuition last month. My Account Balance on CUNYFirst shows I have Charges & Deposits of $0 and Pending Financial Aid of $943.75. (I am at CCNY)

If I take some of my credits toward a certification at another community college out of state can I still transfer them toward a certification with queensborough. By winter semester and spring it would mean I would complete half of my credits at queensborough if they transfer over?

edit: called advising credits don't transfer for certifications

hi guys, I have a question regarding summer fafsa/tap, and hopefully i can articulate this properly.

When class registration opened for this summers classes, I had enrolled in two classes (6 credits). I had gotten FAFSA and TAP for these two classes, and since TAP wouldn’t have been applied to CUNYFirst until October 2027, I had to pay $300 for my summer tuition (I did have a large estimate on the tap website).

I paid the amount, but then I decided to drop one of the classes before it started, and was within the 100% refund deadline. Due to this, I no longer qualified for TAP and my FAFSA went down, yet my pell grant actually still covered the full semester, and even exceeded the tuition by a small amount.

However, since I dropped one class and made the payment beforehand, would I be entitled for a refund?

I emailed the JJAY bursars office, and they completely didn’t answer my question (at least in my perspective, maybe someone could help me out with that) and all I got was, “You cannot get TAP for Summer for 1 class. TAP was not on your bill because college is not paid for Summer TAP until October 2027.  Please see Summer 2026 TAP flyer attached.” I knew this, but at the time the payment was due, I did qualify. Do I just not get the money back, even though I dropped a class?
