When does Spring 2027 registration open at each CUNY college?

Updated October 5, 2026

There is no single CUNY registration date

Each of CUNY's 26 colleges publishes its own registration calendar, and inside a college students register in groups: usually by credits earned, with priority groups such as seniors, graduate students, veterans or honors students going first. The date a college announces is when its first group can register, not necessarily you.

Find your own appointment

Your exact time is in CUNYfirst, and it is the only one that counts:

  • Sign in to CUNYfirst and open the Student Center.
  • Go to Enrollment Dates (sometimes shown as Enrollment Appointments).
  • Check for holds in the same place. A hold can block you at your time even if the date has arrived.

The date for your college

We read each college's published Spring 2027 date from its own academic calendar or registration page, link the source, and say so plainly when a college has not published one yet instead of guessing. The full list is on the all-colleges registration dates page, and every college that has published a date has its own page with the date, time and steps.

What to do before your time

  • Pick two or three sections for every course you need, not just the first one you find.
  • Compare professors for each option, and check the week as a whole for gaps and conflicts.
  • Have a backup for every course, because popular sections fill before the later groups register.
  • For a class that is already full, watch it so you are emailed when a seat opens.
