Weissman Office of Graduate Studies – General Advisement

The first tool for planning your program is the Program Planner. We ask that students download and complete a copy of this form to help plan their registration as they progress through their program of study.  Here is where to find yours:  Arts Administration, Corporate Communication, I/O Psychology, Mental Health Counseling 

1.       To see course offerings search on CUNYFirst or via Global Search (see Three Ways to Search for Courses below). https://globalsearch.cuny.edu/CFGlobalSearchTool/search.jsp Remember, to search for courses within the Academic Career of GRAD and your program’s subject. They are:

• COM for Corporate Communication
• PSY for I/O Psychology and Mental Health Counseling
• FPA for Arts Administration or PAF for Public Affairs
• MTH for Financial Engineering

Important notes:

• We strongly advise that you register at the earliest possible date based on your registration time, listed on CUNYFirst. This ensures that you will be able to register for the courses that you need. Registration times are based on your seniority within your program. Students who have earned more credits register before students who have accumulated fewer credits.
• The course codes in your program’s planner are a helpful guide to search for specific courses you may need. Not every course on the planner will be offered each semester. It is important to note that most required classes are only offered in Fall and Spring terms, and not in every semester. Elective courses are typically offered in Winter and Summer terms.
• The modality of the course is listed under “Instruction Mode” ***

– In person courses meet weekly throughout the semester.

– Hybrid courses meet in person on select days, and online for the remainder of class meetings. The dates for in-person class meetings are typically listed in the class details under “notes.”

– Online- synchronous courses will meet weekly online at the scheduled class time.

– Online- asynchronous courses do not have scheduled meeting times.

***Students registered for courses that meet in-person must have a verified vaccination status in order to remain registered for these sections. The last day to upload proof of vaccination is January 14, 2022.

2. For key dates for registration, course changes, refunds and withdrawals and other matters related to registration, check the academic calendar.
