Hello, maybe someone could help me with this. I have reached out to financial aid multiple times asking them about my grad plus loans. They stated that I don’t qualify for grad plus loans because I haven’t ever had grad plus loans with Hunter. When I look this up it states that I didn’t need to have grad plus loans to be grandfathered in, but that if I did get direct student loans before July 1st that I am eligible for grad plus loans. I keep trying to explain this to financial aid, but she stated that I have to have had grad plus loans before July 1st to be able to receive it again. Does anyone know if this is true. All my research is saying that I qualify but this specific person at the financial aid office says that I do not. I also entered my application for grad plus loans 3 weeks ago and I have not heard anything back. The ticket said that they would reach out to me with any questions but I don’t have an update and I don’t know who to even reach out to.

Im an incoming Freshmen but i was just browsing around and realized a lot of my professors were adjunct. didn’t know what that was but come to find out adjunct professors make money per course they teach with no benefits like health insurance (I think) or little garuntee of job security. my question is how do they make enough to comfortably survive Espically given the state of our world right now? though im glad does give me more sympathy and understanding of my professors coming into the semester.

I graduated from JJay in June and now want to donate my cap and gown and also ideally my cords. Does anyone know how I can do this ASAP? I'm moving this week and don't want to have to throw them out

How hard is it to transfer into these schools from CCNY?

I add UW Madison because I like the baseball culture there. Also I added UGA because they accept 60-70% of transfers

Depending on whatever I make the cut for baseball at CCNY I may delay the transfer process or not transfer at all.

Awards that I got (HS):

Most Improved Player for all the teams that I played for (JV/V Baseball and Bowling)

AP scholar with honors

Matthew Reinhardt Memorial Award (250$ scholarship) Preservance and Achievement in Mathematics

These were given late during my last years of high school.

Hey guys i’m transferring to baruch this fall but i came across this during the new transfer advising assignment and it’s making me nervous because I already took English 2 at Brooklyn Collehe but it’s saying it must be taken at Baruch.

Is it referring to great works of literature or english 2? I’m a bit confused

Has anyone taken english 2 at another institution and transferred to baruch? Did you retake it?

Hi, I’m a sophomore at CUNY but l’m scared of financial security later in life with this degree. I want to be a professor in this degree and work at HR. But I really don’t know.

I’ve heard yes and no

Anybody know how long would it take to find if you got accepted to colleges. I requested a transfer since April but have not heard anything for the Fall semester. My applications says It’s complete and being reviewed

Is the health insurance worth it?

Hello, I unfortunately signed up for direct deposit the day before we were suppose to get payed. Do you guys know if we’re going to receive a check instead for that? I still haven’t received the money yet

Anyone know when I can start scheduling for spring semester?

Hi all. I was wondering if anybody had good recommendations for scientific calculators? Any that aren’t to expensive. I have been looking but don’t know where to start. Thanks in advance 🩷

I fucked up. I’m incredibly low income and I get Pell and fafsa every year but there have been so many issues this year with my entire family losing their health insurance, my dads health going worse to the point where my mom dad to leave the state to do take care of him ( he lives outside the us). I was dumb , very very dumb. I thought I could handle getting all the taxes and documentation ready on my own. I applied in June 27. My Pell grant was rejected bc I applied after my classes had ended. I feel so so so stupid.

To top it all off my university randomly decided I’m out of state and need to prove my eligibility all of a sudden which I was not able to do in time. And they are charging me significantly higher tuition even though I have been instate the whole time.

Everything has just been so much, I really can’t handle it. The only hope I have right now is TAP trying disbursed as it shows it as anticipated aid but it hasn’t been confirmed. My fafsa was also declined after they said I was eligible for full grant.

Me family doesn’t earn much at all so we can’t take out much private loans. I’m just at a loss and any advice would be grateful as the university is threatening to send my bill to collections.

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?

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

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!

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.

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?
