Introduction to CUNYfirst Student Admissions Module
CUNYfirst Admissions allows for basic application processing to handle a student’s acceptance of
admission, matriculate them into a program, and share the information with the CUNYfirst StudentRecords module. The implementation of CUNYfirst Admissions will occur in two distinct phases. Inthe first phase, CUNY will use interfaces to import admissions data from UAPC into CUNYfirst. Thesecond phase will consist of the full implementation of CUNYfirst Admissions functionality. Thistraining guide provides instruction for the first phase of CUNYfirst Admissions.
CAS InterfaceThe CUNYfirst Admissions module is designed to work collaboratively with existing CUNYapplications and new interface feeds to process important application information. CUNY’s existingUndergraduate Applications Processing Center (UAPC) will remain in place for the initial evaluation ofthe application. The information is then moved into CUNYfirst Admissions via the CUNY AdmissionsSystem (CAS) interface feed for undergraduates.
ASTA InterfaceThe Advanced Student Transfer Admissions (ASTA) interface will be used for Transfer students andpossibly additional applicant populations.

Detailed Information
When the Search button is clicked, CUNYfirst searches only for the data specified. It filters thesearch orders defined for the Search Parameter selected on the Search/Match page. For example, ifSearch/Match finds at least one potential matching ID at search order number 10, it will stop thesearch and display the results obtained at search order number 10. (An example of search ordermight be: First, Last, Birthday, ID). If no potential matching IDs are found, the search continues to thenext search order number. The Selective Search button will allow searches for a specific ordernumber.
Always begin by conducting a Search/Match to determine if a record already exists for an applicantbefore creating anything new. An individual might already exist in CUNYfirst as an applicant, student,alumni, employee, instructor (or some combination of any/all). To avoid duplicate records,Search/Match must always be used prior to adding any new individuals to the database . For thisreason, Search/Match is a very important step in maintaining the integrity of the CUNYfirst database.If duplicate records are found, further identification is needed to determine if the duplicate recordsneed to be deleted or if a new record should be created.
It is advantageous to enter as much information as possible into the Search Criteria page.Search/Match will use all the possible search orders to find a match in the database.
Use the MMDDYYYY format for the Date of Birth.
Most searches use the First Name and Last Name fields. Note: Do not search usingonly the First Name. When uncertain of the correct spelling, enter a partial value. Forexample, enter only the first few letters of the name.
Enter the Social Security Number without hyphens in the National ID field.
Carry IDIf the record exists, select the ID to automatically carry the ID forward to the following CUNYfirstpages in order to review or update the record. When the Carry ID button is selected, the Empl ID is
carried over to the next search page accessed. If the record does not exist, the person does notcurrently exist in CUNYfirst.
The Search/Match pageThe Search/Match search page is different from a standard search page in CUNYfirst. Search/Matchpermits definition of search parameters that administrators can use to identify potential duplicate IDs.
The Search Type should be set to: Person. There will be more than one Search Parameter listed inthe system, each for different purposes. For instance, setting the search parameter to:“CS_Admissions”, brings up standard search fields such as First Name, Last Name, DOB, and IDtypes.

Chapter 3 – Add New ApplicationThe Add Application (UGRD) process involves bypassing the CAS method and permits direct entry ofan admissions application using the CUNYfirst Application Entry functionality.
When an applicant submits an application to CUNY and pays the required application fee, aSearch/Match must be performed to determine if the applicant already exists in CUNYfirst, or if this isa new student that will be assigned an EMPLID. If the applicant does exist in CUNYfirst, then thecurrent record should be updated with the proper information.
If the applicant does not exist in CUNYfirst, then a new record can be created using the ApplicationEntry component. Once the application record is saved, CUNYfirst assigns the student an EMPLID.The record exists within the Admissions components until the student is matriculated. From this pointon, the information is moved into the Student Records components. Any updates to student datamust occur in the Application Maintenance component or other areas of Student Records andCampus Community.
Please note that CUNYfirst refers to a student as a “ Person”, which is the correct value to selectwhen entering a student application. The value “Applicant” refers to a potential employee of CUNY,not a student application.
Note: In some cases, campuses may want to use the Add Application functionality to add Non-Degree students to CUNYfirst. Since Quick Admit creates a record, but does not create anapplication, institutions may wish to have the applications on record for data reporting. In this case,these instructions for Adding an Application should be followed and the correct Non-Degree valuesshould be selected for Program, Plan, and Student Groups.
Chapter ObjectivesUpon completion of this chapter, learners will be able to:

Chapter 7 – Non-Degree StudentsThe process of admitting Non-Degree applicants does not involve UAPC processing of CAS/ASTAfiles and can be processed directly in CUNYfirst by using the Quick Admit and Program/Planfunctionality.
For students who do not already possess an EMPL ID in CUNYfirst, Quick Admi t functionality can beused to create a record without creating an application. Quick Admit enables campuses to rapidlyadd a new student’s personal data record to CUNYfirst and to activate that student into an academiccareer, an academic program, and a specific term. Applicants admitted via the Quick Admitfunctionality do not have applications created in CUNYfirst, but will have a student record with aprogram/plan stack.
If needed, an application can be added at a later date for these students by using the AddApplication component or applying through UAPC. For a manual entry, the EMPL ID would be
entered on the Add App page. The Bio-Demo information from the record would be rolled into theapplication. The admissions administrator would then enter the appropriate data into the remainingapplication-specific pages.
After saving the student’s biographical data and activating the student into the term, the student iseligible for class enrollment. The Quick Enroll a Student component is available to enroll studentsinto the term. CUNYfirst carries forward the key information (ID, academic institution, academiccareer, and term) and automatically opens the Quick Enroll a Student component for the givenstudent.
For Non-Degree stud ents wh o already po ssess an EMPL ID , the Program/Plan stack instructionshould be followed. Students may have an EMPL ID because they have been enrolled at aCUNYfirst institution or because they are employees in any CUNY institution. In such cases, we aresimply adding a new layer of academic program information to the existing student record.
Note: In some cases, campuses may want to use the Add Application functionality to add Non-Degree students to CUNYfirst. Since Quick Admit creates a record, but does not create anapplication, institutions may wish to have the applications on record for data reporting. In this case,instructions for Adding an Application should be followed and the correct Non-Degree values shouldbe selected for Program, Plan, and Student Groups.
Chapter ObjectivesUpon completion of this chapter, learners will be able to:
Use Quick Admit to admit Non-Degree students (without EMPL ID) Use the Program/Plan stack to admit Non-Degree students (with EMPL ID)

Topic 1: Health Services ~ Overview
The CUNYfirst Campus Community component includes functionality for updating Health Records,
which is primarily being used to track immunization status. Overall, the CUNYfirst Health Servicesactivities occur within three Campus Community areas:
Three C’s (checklists and communications)
Service Indicators
Immunization and Health Test pages
The ASTA interface (transfer students) will import immunization data from UAPC and populateimmunization health records. Immunization data includes test status, completion dates, and anyexemption status for the following immunizations: measles, mumps, and rubella. Please note thatwhile ASTA is designed to populate immunization fields, if there is no immunization data in theinterface file, nothing is populated.
The CAS interface (new students) will not provide any immunization information at this time.
Detailed Information
The following information outlines CUNYfirst process for managing student immunizations.
Checklists and CommunicationsThe immunization business process leverages the CUNYfirst checklists and communicationsfunctionality to streamline CUNY’s immunization tracking for all students across all CUNY institutions.
The immunization business process also allows individual institutions to maintain flexibility withregards to their specific student populations and submission deadlines.
Once students have been admitted and matriculated into a program at CUNY, CUNYfirst runs acheck against each student’s immunization record for any missing immunization information. Oncethe process has been triggered, CUNYfirst will automatically assign the Health checklist to anystudent’s record that is missing immunization information. This communication can also be managedmanually.
Within the Health checklist, there are two checklist items which will be displayed in the student’s self -service as a To-Do list:
Meningitis Acknowledgement Form
Immunization Documents
Upon assigning the Health checklist, an automated e-mail communication is sent to the student’scampus e-mail, notifying them of the health requirements.
Approximately two weeks after the start of the term (actual date is determined by each college’sHealth Services office) a second communication will be sent out of CUNYfirst to students who arestill out of compliance with the health requirements. Upon sending this communication, the CUNYfirstsystem will update these students’ checklist items to a status of ‘Notified’. The Health Servicesdepartment is responsible for triggering this communication and checklist update process.

Last Updated: 6/18/2013 CUNYfirst Admissions233
Overal l , upd ating a student’s immunization is an on-go ing process, as these documents comeinto the Health Services office over the course of several months. As student health records areupdated, the Health checklist status is also updated. CUNYfirst will update checklist statuses hourly.Service indicators will be updated based on the checklist status (see below). The system will process
these updates at intervals to be determined by each institution; however, Health Services personnelcan do this manually should the need arise.
Service Indicators After CUNYfirst has assigned the Health checklist and the initial e-mail communication is sent, aService Indicator should be assigned based on pre-defined criteria. The mass assignment ofservice indicators will be maintained and scheduled by each institution’s Health Servicesoffice.
Two of the Health Services Service Indicators have been configured with registration holds:
NC (non-compliant with immunization)
MEN (missing meningitis form)
It is the student’s responsibility to submit the appropriate health and immunization documentation.Immunization proof can be supplied via mail or in-person. As the information comes in, the HealthServices department at each institution is responsible for entering the information into the system.
Immunization and Health Test pagesCUNY is using the Immunization page to track submission of all required immunization documents.The documentation itself is either processed via paper in the Health Services Office, though theMeningitis Acknowledgment Form (MAF) can also be submitted on-line.
Onl ine Self -Serv ice Ackno wledgement Form
Students are required to submit the meningitis acknowledgement form prior to enrolling in classes. A
service indicator is placed on the student’s record, restrict ing enrol lm ent activi ty, unti l theform h as been subm i t ted. A page in student self-service allows CUNY to provide information tostudents about meningococcal meningitis and allows students to submit the meningitisacknowledgement form.
The Student Self-Service page has two checkbox fields for the MAF:
Students acknowledge that they have received the meningitis information and will notobtain immunization at this time.
Students acknowledge that they have received the meningitis information and havereceived the immunization and indicate the date the immunization was received.
At the bottom of the page, there will be a submit button that, once selected, will update the student’s
health information with the appropriate meningitis immunization code, complete status, date received(submission date), and date taken (if applicable). The submission will also trigger the removal of themeningitis service indictor, thereby allowing the student to register for courses. Students receive
training in this pro cess via the Student Self Service Training sess ions and/or m aterials.
The Meningitis Acknowledgement Form (MAF) can be submitted one of four ways: online viaCUNYfirst self-service, mail, fax, or in person. If the student submits the MAF in person, via mail, orfax, the Health Services department at each institution is responsible for updating the student’simmunization record. If the student wishes to submit the MAF via self-service, the student’simmunization record will be automatically updated with the submission of the online MAF. The

submission of the online MAF will also remove the MEN registration hold allowing the student toenroll in classes (provided they have no outstanding immunization documents). Further instructionand images of the Immunization and Health pages are in the following topic.
Registrar Activities As per current practice, the Registrar’s office manages the following activities which impact studentswho have not submitted their Immunization documentation:
Term Activation
WA Grades
Term Act iva t ion
Prior to each term start, the Term Activation process is run. This process flags students as beingeligible to enroll. Those colleges that allow registration up to 5.5 credits will also run a custom processto apply an enrollment limit of 5.5 credits to their students who are missing immunization documents.CUNYfirst will then enforce the 5.5 credit limit as students enroll in classes. This additional processwill run immediately following the Term Activation process. The Registrar’s Office is responsible for
managing this process in collaboration with the Health Services department.
WA Grades
After 30 days from the start of the term (45 days for students who are from out-of-state), acommunication is sent to students who are still out of compliance to notify them that they are nolonger permitted to attend class and will be issued a ‘WA’ as a grade (irreversible at the end of theterm), will be responsible for tuition charges, and their Financial Aid will be suspended or cancelled (ifapplicable).
Upon sending this communication, the CUNYfirst system will update these students’ checklist itemsto a status of ‘Second Notification’. The Health Services department is responsible for triggering thiscommunication and checklist update process. The ‘WA’ grades will be assigned by running a custommass grade assignment process. The Registrar’s Office will be responsible for triggering this process
in collaboration with the Health Services department.
At this same time in the term, a service indicator of ‘NC’ is assigned to the non-compliant students’record, blocking them from all future registration eligibility until they become compliant with the healthrequirements. The Health Services department is responsible for the placement of service indicators.
Approximately a week after the ‘WA’ grades have been assigned, the Registrar’s Off ice will post aterm withdrawal for those students receiving a ‘WA’ grade. The posting of term withdrawal will place a‘withdrawn’ code, as well as a last date of attendance, on the student’s record which is then used bythe Financial Aid office and impacts the Return to Title IV process. If necessary, the last date ofattendance will be manually overridden by the Registrar’s Office to equate to the date the ‘WA’grades were assigned to the student’s record.
According to CUNY policy, students have until the last day of the term to remove the ‘WA’ grade andreceive a letter grade. In order to have the ‘WA’ grade removed; students must complete the followingtasks:
Show proof of immunization to the Health Services department
Obtain signed approval from all of their current instructorsStudents must bring the signed approval to the Registrar’s Office for removal of ‘WA’ grades, andrequest reinstatement of Financial Aid (if applicable) from the Financial Aid office. Once the last dayof the term is past, the ‘WA’ grades are irreversible and become a permanent grade on the student’stranscript.

Topic 3: Disability Services ~ Overview A prospective student can make an initial request for accommodation to the Office of Services forStudents with Disabilities at his or her individual college and provide appropriate supporting
documentation.
Disability data is used by CUNY to meet the needs of students with disabilities, as well as for thefollowing purposes:
The data is used by each disability service coordinator/director on campuses togenerate an annual report for central administrative offices at CUNY. This is done notonly to understand data for fiscal planning purposes at the University, but also toexamine trends for legislative campaigns, donation requests, policy adjustments andmodifications, policy creation, service delivery, and to generate strategies forrecruitment purposes.
Directors of disability services often use the data gathered through this mechanism to
acquire campus and external resources. Disability services also uses this data toprovide various intervention related services to students who may or may not be onacademic probation or are believed to be a risk for academic probation.
This data is also intended to help campuses in making decisions regarding assistivetechnology purchases, requesting electronic textbooks from higher educationpublishers, and to generate reports to comply with the higher education electronictextbook legislation in New York State.

Topic 4: Enter/Update Disability Data
Before the Disability Services Coordinator can use the CUNY First system to track disability data the
person must exist in the system. The Disability Services Coordinator uses the Search/Match processto investigate if the person exists in the CUNY First system.
Perform a Search/Match to locate any existing record. If a ‘match’ is found thecoordinator can proceed to enter disability data.
If no match is found the coordinator should direct the prospective student to submit orcheck the status of their application. The University Application Processing Center(UAPC) interface will populate (create) the person in the CUNY First system. Thecampus-based Admissions Office can also enter the application manually.
If not match is found and the prospective student is requesting pre-admissionservices, the Disability coordinator should contact the Registrars’ office to have the
student added to the CUNYfirst. Once the prospective student exists in the databaseand has been assigned an EMPL ID, the Disability Coordinator can assign thestudent a pre-admission accommodation type. The business process may varyacross CUNY campuses.
Step Summary
The Accommodation Request can be found by navigating to: Campus Community > PersonalInformation > Disability > Disability
To Enter/Update Student Disability Data:
1. Run a Search/Match for existing name and address in CUNYfirst.2. Select the existing student record to be updated (or if not found, see pre-admit note below)3.

Credit for educational experiences in the armed forces may be evaluated in terms of the degree
toward which the veteran is working, and may be awarded for courses offered in the curriculum of anyaccredited college as well as areas that might be considered part of a potential curriculum of anaccredited college.
The stated course requirements for the degree may be modified in the case of the veteran. Suchadjustments should be made in consideration of the special justification in the individual case andwithout weakening the essential import of the degree or certification for which the veteran is acandidate.
A maximum allowance of twelve credits for military experience may be granted the veteran who hasbeen in the service for six months or more, and a maximum allowance of six credits for the veteranwho has been in service for more than 90 days but less than six months. The granting of this creditshall not deprive the veteran of taking the total number of credits required for his or her degree.
The acceptance of credit for both educational and military experience should be permissive with theveteran.
Special Registration ProceduresThe veteran who re-enters at any time during the term should be given the opportunity to auditcourses without credit. Fees will be waived except for non-matriculated students. The veteran whoreturns after the completion of the normal registration period may be permitted to enroll without latefee for credit either in regular courses or in special tutorial courses, or a combination of both.
Admission of VeteransMatriculation Procedures All student veterans whose high school averages qualified them to enroll as matriculated students,but who were enrolled as non-matriculated students because of their failure to meet the previous
admissions application deadlines are to be fully matriculated effective.
Late Admission All veterans of the U.S. Military Service with no previous college experience will be permitted to filematriculation applications at any time prior to the date that registration is scheduled to begin and thatthe normal University-established dates for filing such applications shall not apply.
In the event the filed application is lacking in supporting data at the time of scheduled registration, theveteran, subject to space limitation, shall be admitted as a conditional matriculant pending receipt ofsuch supporting data, provided, however, that the veteran has presented evidence of a high schooldiploma or equivalent.
Upon receipt of the supporting documentation to complete the application, the veteran shall be placedin full matriculation if he or she meets the admission requirements of the college or if he or she hasmet the college's academic standards for continued matriculation at the end of the aforementionedsemester.
Veterans admitted in accordance with the foregoing resolutions will forfeit their matriculated status ifthey should fail to provide the documentation required by the college in order to complete theadmissions application or if they fail to meet the college's academic standards for continuedmatriculation.

With reference to students in good standing whose enrollment is interrupted by military service or byabsence from college due to refusal to serve in the armed forces, the University will continue its long-established policy of readmitting students without prejudice arising from such absence.
Graduate Work for VeteransThe following procedures are designed to assist the man or woman now in the Armed Forces whowish to commence or resume studies on the graduate level upon return to civilian life.
Subject to approval of the appropriate graduate authority to be designated by the President of eachcollege, a senior may be admitted provisionally as a graduate student, including in the program ofstudy some courses that will count toward the Bachelor's degree and others that will count toward theMaster's degree. Admission to the graduate course of study will be confirmed as soon as theBachelor's degree is confirmed.
If there is a reasonable likelihood that the requirements for the Bachelor's degree have beencompleted, a veteran may be permitted to commence graduate studies, pending the evaluation ofwork completed while in service.
Subject to the approval of the appropriate graduate authority, courses prerequisite to the Master'sdegree may be completed through the Armed Forces Institute and the colleges cooperating with theInstitute program. Likewise, appropriate work completed in a formalized educational program in the Armed Services may be used to fulfill such requirements. Corresponding courses completed throughthe Armed Forces Institute and in cooperating colleges may be credited toward the Master's degreeup to a maximum of six credits, subject to the approval of the appropriate graduate authority. It isrecognized that in some fields of study fewer than six credits will be acceptable or even that no creditwill be allowed.
On the basis of graduate work taken elsewhere the appropriate graduate authority may excuse theveteran from earning in residence as much as one half of the course credits required for the Master'sdegree. This provision is not to be construed as exempting the veteran from other requirements for
the degree. A thesis or a comprehensive examination or both will be required of all candidates.The veteran who is unable to obtain a full graduate program at any one city college because ofinsufficient course offerings shall be permitted to round his or her program at one of the other citycolleges with courses approved by his or her graduate authority.
Admission and Fees for Enlisted Military PersonnelEnlisted personnel in the Armed Forces of the United States shall be admitted to courses given in thecolleges provided there is a vacancy in the course desired and provided also that the applicant hascompleted the prerequisites for that course. The Board of Trustees shall extend to such militarypersonnel the same privileges in respect to fees as those granted residents of the City of New York.
Fees for All Military Personnel and their Families, Stationed in New York StateFor the purposes of calculating tuition and fee charges, members of the Armed Services of the UnitedStates stationed in New York State, their spouses, and their dependent children, are to be consideredas residents of New York State.

Topic 1: Three C’s Overview This chapter provides an overview of the 3Cs, otherwise known as: Communications, Checklists, andComments.
Communication management includes contacts inside and outside of CUNY.
Checklist management permits the creation of requirement lists and monitoring ofstatus.
Creating Comments enables individuals to attach remarks about individuals andorganizations
Communications, checklists, and comments can be entered manually throughout CUNYfirst.CUNYfirst can also automatically add communications, add comments, and add or update checklistsfor individuals or organizations automatically from within your business processes through the use ofevents and triggers. The Population Selection process can also be used to select a specificpopulation for the 3C engine to assign items to.
Buttons for each of the 3Cs display on many pages of the CUNYfirst pages. Use these buttons, whichare displayed below in each section, to transfer directly to another page within the sameadministrative function to generate or review a communication, checklist, or comment regarding theindividual or organization under review.
Communications
Use the Communications Management page to review or create communications for an individual ororganization. Communications include letters, phone calls, meetings, emails, and faxes.
This component enables CUNY to track and analyze contacts with students, staff, constituents, andorganizations inside and outside the institution, including the following:
all incoming and outgoing communications
all types of communication—letters, emails, phone calls, personal contact, facsimiles
communications generated by other offices that impact your office
all staff involved with a communication
Transfers you to the appropriate Communications Management page, whereyou can review or create communications for the individual or organization.Communications include letters, phone calls, meetings, emails, and faxes.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: If your college’s business process is to separate the stats from non -degreecoursework and degree seeking courses (degree seeking student), then you must use the ‘ResetCum Stats at Term Start’ checkbox (Records and Enrollment > Student Term Information > TermHistory >> Cumulative Statistics Tab). Checking the checkbox will reset (and separate) the non-degree stats (CUM GPA and CUM Stats) from the degree seeking stats, or vice versa. The transcriptwill also reflect that information.If your current business process is to print transcripts with ALL the courses, regardless of the factwhether or not the student is degree or non-degree, then you do not need to check the ‘Reset CumStats’ checkbox .
