Priority registration began November 6th. Students are strongly encouraged to speak with an academic advisor prior to the start of the registration period. Students should make time to meet with an advisor no later than two weeks prior to the date on whi
ch you will be able to access your e-SIMS account in order to register for your classes. The Office of Academic Advisement does not advise students regarding their Major Requirements*

Students should plan to meet with our advisors at their earliest convenience. Students who delay meeting with an advisor in the Office of Academic Advisement may experience an extended wait time for an advisor to become available.

*Students who have already declared their majors are strongly required/encouraged to meet with a faculty member from their academic department as soon as possible. We recommend phoning the department in advance to confirm the office hours for advisement
or to make an appointment if necessary to ensure that someone is available for a meeting. Students in academic majors are also encouraged to come to our office for a review of General Education requirements.

Students who require advisement outside of our availability may contact the OFFICE OF EVENING, SUMMER & WEEKEND SESSIONS located in 2A-204. Please call 718-982-2155 to enquire as to their office hours and advisor availability.

INFORMATION FOR NEW FIRST-TIME FRESHMEN:

NEW FIRST-TIME students must be tested in order to be advised and registered. Even if students are exempt from the Reading, Writing and Math assessment tests, they must still take the ACT/Mathematics examination for placement purposes.

If a new student has been admitted but has not received a letter from UAPC inviting them to a testing session, he/she should contact the College Testing Office, 718-982-2380, regarding a testing appointment.

Appointments for advisement and registration for new students are given out in the testing sessions and later by mailings. If a student receives two appointments for advisement and registration, he/she may attend either one.

If a new student has taken the assessment tests but has not received an appointment for advisement and registration, he/she may call the Office of Academic Advisement, 718-982-2280, regarding an appointment.

Please be aware that new students will not be able to register if they have not taken all entrance and placement exams or if they have not submitted their Immunization records (MMR) and Meningitis Vaccination Response Form to the Health Center, which is


located in Building 1C, Room 112. Students should also take this opportunity to submit their Medical Certification Form for PED 190. All of these forms can be accessed and printed from the following websites:
