Seventh Day Registration Policy

Seventh Day Registration Deadline

All course registration for the spring and fall semesters will end on the seventh day of classes at 11:59 pm.

Any class additions to your schedule (including over-tallies, departmental permissions, etc.) must be completed and reflected in CUNYfirst prior to the seventh day registration deadline.

This process allows federal and state financial aid, including grants, loans, etc., to be disbursed early in the semester so that you can access your financial aid award status directly in your CUNYfirst account and use funds earlier.

See the Academic Calendar for the current registration dates and deadlines.

Financial Aid Enrollment Status

Your registration as of the seventh day registration deadline will be used to determine your financial aid enrollment status, (e.g. full-time, part-time, etc.,) and any federal and/or state aid that you may receive for the semester.

In extenuating circumstances, if class additions are made to your schedule after the seventh day registration deadline, this may not further increase your financial aid award eligibility.

Federal and/or state aid eligibility will be affected as follows:

  • TAP: Undergraduate students registered for less than 12 eligible credits as of the seventh day registration deadline may not qualify for state aid.
  • Pell: Undergraduate students registered for less than 12 eligible credits as of the seventh day registration deadline may not qualify for prorated federal aid.
  • Direct Stafford Loans: Undergraduate and graduate students registered for less than six credits as of the seventh day registration deadline will not qualify for Direct Stafford Loans.
