Campus Solutions: Instruction and Advising
This module has various features for faculty, advisers, deans, and chairs:
- Faculty can create and view weekly instructional calendar by daily, weekly, and monthly views
- Faculty can view Class Rosters as soon as students register—and email your entire class or specific individuals from the rosters
- Faculty advisers can use Advanced Advisement Tools to:
- See, in real time, student transcripts, current class schedule, and contact information, with the ability to contact students directly through CUNYfirst;
- E-mail an individual student or all your student advisees;
- Contact your advisee’s instructors through CUNYfirst; and
- View “holds” and other service indicators.
- Deans and chairs can view an instructor’s teaching history.
- Enrollment and instructor data feeds directly into Blackboard.
- A University-wide standard process will post grades electronically:

Activating Your City College E-Mail Account
CUNYfirst will send messages ONLY to your CCNY e-mail account. Please be sure that your account is activated.
Most faculty and staff members already have a CCNY e-mail account. The format follows this sequence: first initial of first name and last name @ccny.cuny.edu. An example for Mary Smith would be msmith@ccny.cuny.edu.
E-mail accounts for faculty and staff who are new to CCNY as of Fall 2013 were generated at the beginning of the semester; the same process was generated for all of 2013 and going forward. To check on the status of your account go to ‘Activate Account/Reset Password Form‘ or contact:
