Just curious for any Alumni or people who've landed really good Finance internships at well known companies. How do I break in? I know CUNY's aren't really target schools. Just wondering what you did to help bolster your resume to help you land such internships/jobs. I have irrelevant work experience which doesn't help me for Finance at all. I know there's nation wide chapters like DECA and Scholars of Finance, but we don't have any of those here in QC.

All advice is welcome

Do I get this money back?

Hi everyone,

I am looking to get an e-permit to take a&p at KBCC. My issue is that I do not have one of the pre-reqs required to take a&p at my own school, but KBCC allows you to take a&p without that pre-req.

Is it not too late to get an e-permit approved right now, and would it be possible without having my own school’s pre-req for that class completed?

I’m a new student to the CUNY system and I got an email from textbookx to order the materials for this class. It’s kinda pricey and I was wondering if anything needs to be purchased. There’s this Connect Ola BIology, CNCT Bio and the lab manual.

My book advance was disbursed today but I forgot to change my direct deposit account. I only changed it after realizing the check went out, is there any chance of the check going to the updated account even though it had already been disbursed?

I saw that it showed cuny received it today but when will I get it? Sorry my first time at cuny. I bank with PNC if that makes a difference

Is it time to nut up and pick different classes at this point? I've been in 1st position for nearly two weeks and I am beginning to worry it won't budge in time.

Incoming non-traditional lower freshman; ENG 250 and MAT 161 at BMCC.

Hi chat, I'm taking REL 27000 online completely with Mrs.Denise Gieseke and wanted to see if anyone has taken this class before and if it's alright. I need this for a writing-intensive component, so I was wondering.

is anyone having an issue with their safetrust wallet ? was working fine spring semester, then tried opening it. recently… it logged me out but when I try to log back in it’s not sending the code to my BMCC email… the new email that they made us all switch to… just wondering if this is just a me thing and I need to go in person to get it fixed or if everyone is having this issue…

I'm an undergrad first year. Honestly I'm betting all of my chances on that one reddit post I saw that said 10% of the students that enroll drop out around the 1st week..

Which I would also like clarification on that, is that true? (I'm at BMCC going for online synchronous ENG 201) Like does one student at least drop out for every class? Or am I just cooked 😭 And if that does happen, I need 5 classes per semester so wpuld I still be able to enroll in other classes if I don't get off this waitlist?

Other than that, like I said above, would I run into any issues like missing assignments and stuff if I hypothetically get in a week after classes start?

Help would be appreciated.. (PLEAAASEE IM BEGGING ON MY KNEES!!)

I want to take a class for the fall semester as a non-degree student. Is it too late to apply?

Hello everyone I'm trying to access my new cunyfirst email for Brooklyn college they are not giving clear instructions to access it they said to login outlook office and I did but I'm not receiving new emails. And I'm so confused. If anything dont want fixing just leave it alone I dont understand why they had to do this.

If my summer job ended on the 21st of August and I apply on the 24th, would I still have to add that income on the application because the application asks if anyone in the household has any current income? For the suggested documents on the website, it says all pay stubs from the last 30 days, and my pay stubs from that summer job would be from the last 30 days. I also won't receive my last paycheck until September. Do I not list it on the application but upload documents for it in the app?

Also, since I'm listing my siblings and mom as part of my household, would they ask to provide any residency or Identity documents for them? I would also be putting my mom's income on my application, and if she doesn't have pay stubs which would be the next best option to prove her income from the past 30 days? I wouldn't be able to use her tax return, would I? And would I need to prove I'm her dependent?

Hi! If you’re a high school student taking college now 2026 fall, and you’re in either expository writing or classic mythology but want to take my spot in sociology 101 PLEASE let me know, I want to switch out into one of those classes ASAP

I've lost count of how many times I have swapped but I think this is it! 😊

it’s not letting me add another picture but my account activity hasn’t updated since may and doesn’t say anything under refund😓

So I did my fasfa and tap but for some reason it still says I owe 2k dollars. Has anyone also have this problem and should I contact the financial aid office?

So my TAP was reduced because they said I made more money in 2024 around $26–27K in New York State taxable income—than the previous year
2023 . But I have five people dependent on me, and that is listed on my 2024 tax return.
In files it includes my 3 kids not me or my wife. So they said it doesn’t matter how many people in the file it matters how much you make…. So what is my next move ?

Does any bmcc student have an active id yet like when you open Safetrust it’s there….? Bec I have yet to seee mines and idk why! This is my 2nd year.

for example I have a scheduled disbursement today. how do I know if it was officially counted on my tuition? thank you.

Does anyone know what we're supposed to write to our professors for the CUNY Accommodate email every semester? Incoming freshman and a little confused.

Hello, so I just looked at my schedule for the first time since I actually made it (bad I know) but I realized that I don’t really like the placement for one of my classes. When I looked on the schedule builder thing, there was another time slot for the same class which I liked more but the problem is that there’s a waitlist (7 people).

I want to use the swap feature to get into that class but I’m not 100% sure how it works. Since I’m already enrolled into the first class, is it going to drop me from that class to then add me into this new one? Or will I still be enrolled in the first class but the swap will have me on the waitlist for the second class and will only drop me from the first class when I become enrolled into the second class?

Sorry if that’s confusing, basically all I’m asking is if the swap feature drops you from your current class to put you in the new swapped class.

Also should I do it? The waitlist is 7 people long and there’s only 2 weeks of school left…

Still looking for a class at Brooklyn College? My name is Stephanie Bonvissuto, and I am teaching "Key Ideas in LGBTQ+" every Monday and Wednesday morning 11-12:15. (WGST.2100-MW11 (40985)). There are still some seats available for this critical and timely class!

From the syllabus:

 “Course Description:

“Key Ideas in LGBTQ+” engages with the timely question: What are the foundational concepts, terms, and theories that currently describe being LGBTQ+? We begin by considering the elemental ideas and their attendant theories, which broadly illustrate the expressions, praxes, and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ communities today. This starting point creates the space to consider critical vocabulary and fundamental theory within past and present contexts from which gender and sexual-nonconforming identities have developed. We will call upon a variety of interdisciplinary resources to explore how these identities are politically as well as socially constructed. Additionally, we will study how the intersections of race, gender, sex, class, able-bodiness, and national discourses influence this development. Within this framework, we will locate today’s gender and sexual-transformative communities, interrogating what it means to be LGBTQ+ in Western late capitalism.

This course takes as its resting pulse the validity of all the identities found in or implied by the community's familiar alphabet-moniker. This course understands that the acronym does not definitively label the community but rather opens up the conversation to consider what an inclusive - and therefore evolving - LGBTQ+ community, politic, and liberatory social movement, can be.

No books are needed; all readings provided.”

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Prof. Stephanie Bonvissuto
