CUNYfirst College Schedule Announced

CUNYfirst Project Leader Brian Cohen - the university's Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer - announced the implementation schedule for CUNY colleges and professional schools. It details when colleges will implement new student service processes in the four years of the CUNYfirst implementation.

The schedule was developed with the cooperation of CUNY college leadership and represents the readiness of the Wave Two campuses to fully accept the organizational changes needed to support the introduction of the new student processes.  There may be a need to adjust this schedule over time as we measure the impact of implementing CUNYfirst at our Vanguard Colleges - Queens College and Queensborough Community College, or because of circumstances not known now.

Borough of Manhattan Community College, CUNY School of Law, and the Graduate Center and its professional programs will implement CUNYfirst within a three-year timeline.  The reason for this is that BMCC and the Graduate Center do not use SIMS (Student Information Management Systems) and the Law School has a unique curriculum and shares some business processes with Queens College.  There are plans to have five Wave Two Colleges.  CUNYfirst has asked Lehman College President Dr. Ricardo Fernández to be part of the Wave Two launch.

CUNYfirst is Coming!

CUNYfirst stands for Fully Integrated Resources and Services Tool and for CUNY it means a massive upgrade in how we’ll do things in the future. 

New CUNYfirst processes in Student Administration, Human Resources and Finance will change how we do everything from registering for classes to paying our bills.  CUNYfirst applications will replace aging legacy systems like SIMS and CUPS and help us streamline and standardize many of the things we do at our colleges.  CUNYfirst will be implemented in phases.  Base processes for business, HR and academic structure will be created first, with enhancements and new modules being added in the coming years.
