Message Board

The Office of the Registrar is virtually open for business.
While we are currently unable to provide in-person service to the College community, we are committed to providing you all of the updates and information you need to have a successful remote learning experience. Please check here and the rest of our website for our departmental contact list, directions, important forms, registration updates, and more.
We are here to help you have a smooth, seamless semester, so be sure to let us know if we can assist you in any way. Staff are available virtually Monday-Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm.

Reminder for June 2021 Degree Candidates:
The deadline for submitting your graduation application was March 1, 2021. Please make sure to check your CUNYfirst account or DegreeWorks for current information about the status of your graduation application.
Information about awarded degrees will be posted in CUNYfirst within one month of the end of the spring term, and graduates will receive a congratulatory email at that time.
Since we'll be using preferred email addresses to contact graduates, please take a moment to check CUNYfirst to make sure your most current email address and contact information are on file so that we can share the news with you!

Information about Degrees and Diplomas:
CUNY is now using a new diploma vendor (Parchment) and has finalized the process for student retrieval of digital diplomas and the mailing of physical diplomas to our students. Please make sure your current, accurate address information is listed in your CUNYfirst account (don’t forget to include your apartment number, if applicable, and check the spelling of your name).
7-10 weeks after degrees are awarded, graduates will receive an email notification with instructions for electronically claiming their diploma through the Parchment website (Parchment.com). Please be advised that any holds that would prevent the issuance of a transcript (such as Bursar, Collections, or Financial Aid Exit Interview) will also prevent the diploma from being sent out: check your CUNYfirst regularly to make sure you’ve taken care of any holds prior to the end of the semester.

Welcome to the Office of the Registrar!

Visiting

Please make sure you bring an unofficial transcript from your home college/university, or an authorization letter/email giving you permission to take the specific course at CSI for which you will attempt to register.

Additional permissions may be required by the departments.

Non-Degree

If you are a non-degree student (these are students who are not currently enrolled in another school), please bring in a copy of your transcript. You may have to show this to the academic department to be permitted to take the desired course.

Late Registration: Important information on late registration after the deadline*:

Registrations processed after the financial aid certification date (last day to add) do not qualify for financial aid.

*The deadline for an "initial registration" is published in the academic calendar and any changes to that deadline will be posted to the web.
