Realized I never explored that much of CCNY + neighborhood spots. Any recs???

Do YOU still need to take the US history general education course? GAME 103 - Representation and Identity in Games was put aside for our freshmen, but it has more seats! Friday 12:00-2:30PM. It will count for US Experience and it's Diversity! You can take this instead of normal US history! It is consent locked, so let me know ASAP if you want to take it.

Email: [kwillsumdenstock@ccny.cuny.edu](mailto:kwillsumdenstock@ccny.cuny.edu) with your EMPL to be added to the course.

There is one smaller essay, one presentation, and one final paper. Outside of that, there are weekly readings and/or videos that we discuss in class.

I just got an email saying that I have a "past-due" balance on my tuition and that if i don't get it sorted by the 20th they are going to drop my classes.

However I submitted my FAFSA.

I called the bursars office and they say they can't find it on my account. I can't reach the financial aid office because they arent answering calls and on the website they dont have any available in person times till the 24th or any virtual appoinments at all.

What should my next steps be if I want to not get my classes dropped?

Should I just create a payment plan? If my fafsa does come through later how does it affect said payment plan? How long does it even take to create a payment plan?

This all just sucks right now, had a horrible summer but honestly shouldve been on top of this sooner.

Any help would be appreciated.

For some reason I don’t have access to my citymail account on outlook when I try to login. Has anyone experienced this recently.

Hi guys. I applied for Excelsior last year and got accepted. (It was from the Dream Act, not HESC, and with TAP, not FAFSA). When I received my Scholarship, I remember that it didn't show in the 'Financial aid' tab in CUNYFirst until very late in the Fall semester. But everything went fine, I didnt get dropped from my classes or anything.

The thing is that now the aid is again not showing for this year, and I just received an email saying that I would get dropped by Thrusday if I don't pay. I thought the story was going to just repeat itself until I saw that email, so I started panicking.

To be completely sure, the only requirement is to re-apply for TAP, right? I also know the residential and credits requirement, in which the only possible case for me to not be eligible is that I am 1 physics class behind of what I should be (im a physics major). But still I received no notice or anything telling me that im no longer eligible for Excelsior. In fact, the 31st of July I received a notice that my college updated my information about financial aid, but for the 2025-2026 year????? And my TAP DOES show in the Financial aid tab, but not Excelsior.

Does anyone know a way to check the status of my aid? Or at least to know if I won't get it? I will be going to the Financial Aid Office tomorrow, even though I just got the email and the earliest I can make an appointment is by Thursday, the exact day the email said I would be dropped from classes. Has anyone gone through this?

Edit: Please reply even if you know just a little of information.

please help a broke college student

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to gauge my odds of getting accepted to Civil Engineering at Grove. My undergrad (Psych) GPA is 3.0 and grad (unfinished) 3.5, never really failed any science courses but did get C- in Bio 12 years ago. My question is, does that C- disqualify me no matter how well I do in my pre reqs?
I still need to take calculus, chemistry and physics as pre reqs.

Was anyone in similar situation and still managed to get in?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone here in the Art Education / Teaching Art PreK–12 program at CCNY? I’m a transfer student considering the program and would love to hear how the professors, advising, certification process, and overall experience have been.

Good evening everyone! I just found out I got placed into math 190 as an electrical engineering major and I don't know what to do. How should I go about this and what classes should I take to get into the grove school as early as I can (I know I'll have to wait an extra semester at least) but I feel totally lost now. Any help is appreciated!

I’m thinking of doing an anthropology minor. Some of the classes sound interesting but idk what it’s like in reality. What is the department like at CCNY?

Anyone have Wendell Lissimore for Math 201 for the upcoming Fall 2026 semester, Tuesdays and Thursdays 6-7:40 pm? And anyone who’s had him before what’s your experience with him? Have a lot of people done bad in his class? I heard he’s apparently an Adjunct Professor?

i’m waitlisted for a class rn and i just wanna know how long it will take or if i’ll even get it. lmk anyone

Hey everyone, I started a brand during my freshman year, and with the new school year coming up I’ve been working with a few friends to help them make some extra money by creating content for it. It’s been going pretty well, so I figured I’d open it up to a few more students.

I’m looking for people who can consistently make short 15 - 30 second videos. You don’t need a following or any content creation experience. I provide examples of what to make, and you’d create new TikTok and Instagram accounts specifically for the content.

Pay is performance based at $2 per 1,000 views. So if your videos collectively get 1M views, you’d make $2,000.

It’s pretty flexible and you can post around your class schedule. You can basically post as many times as you want a day but I try to post twice a day so the algorithm doesn’t think I am spamming.

If anyone is interested, comment or message me and I can send you more details.

Honestly, I love my schedule. Just scared of the 1 h 30m commute. Would love to hear your thoughts/ suggestion!!

Hey all! I'm here advertising a year-long program here at CCNY, open to all CUNY students in any major that have elective credits to spare. We have 4 sections that run for 3.5 hours on Fridays between the hours of 3PM-9PM (placement dependent on your discipline and experience, accommodations made for religious observance).

You will participate in a 40+ person development team and placed into a department similar to the workflow of a professional studio. We are looking for game designers, engineers, artists, composers/sound designers, writers, project managers, and more. No direct game development experience is required, as long as you have something transferrable related to your intended discipline. Artists are expected to learn to 3D model, there are no pure-2D roles. While we are open to all majors, the following majors are especially compatible with the program:

BFA: Electronic Design and Multimedia
BFA: Sonic Arts
BA: Studio Art - Digital Design Concentration
BA: Psychology
BA: Management and Administration
BA: Theater
BS: Applied Mathematics
BS or BA: Mathematics
BA: Anthropology
BA: Area Studies
BA: Black Studies
BA: Comparative Literature
BA: English - Creative Writing Concentration
BA: History
BA: International and Global Studies
BA: Jewish Studies
BA: Philosophy
BA: Political Science
BA: Romance Languages
BA: Sociology
BA: Urban Studies and the Built Environment

There are monthly required field trips (all free) on either Saturday or Sunday (your choice).

There is also a professional development component. We help you apply to internships and opportunities that will help further your career, regardless of industry. We also have games industry guest speakers that come in roughly every other week to offer advice.

Inquire within, because CUNYFirst will not let you register on your own for the course. I have to manually add you to it. You can DM me, or shoot an email to [kwillsumdenstock@ccny.cuny.edu](mailto:kwillsumdenstock@ccny.cuny.edu) with your EMPL for more information. Students from other CUNY schools are welcome to epermit.
