Your CUNYfirst account is now activated. Please make note of your username and password and keep them in a safe place. You will need to update your password every 90 days. A reminder will be emailed to you at 85 days. You will not be able to re-use one of your four previous passwords. Your password cannot be changed for five days after you last changed your password.

Logging On

After you have claimed your account, you will receive a confirmation screen with your user name and CUNYfirst ID. Typically, your CUNYfirst user name is your first name and last name, with a dot between the two names; added to that is the last two digits of your CUNYfirst ID. For example, John Smith would be John.Smith12.

Your password is the password you entered when you claimed your account.
