How do I register?

The application you use to register for classes at Hunter College is called "eSIMS".  You access eSIMS by logging into the CUNY Portal.

How do I log into the CUNY Portal?

You can reach the CUNY Portal by going to www.cuny.edu and clicking the "Log-in" link on the lower left-hand side of the page.  If you haven't yet activated your CUNY Portal ID, we have step-by-step instructions on how to do that.

Please note: If you have only just been admitted to the College, you may not be able to activate your Portal ID for 24 hours, as the systems will not have the same data.  If the CUNY Portal does not recognize your identifying information, please wait until noon the following day to try to activate your Portal ID.

Once you have logged into the Portal, you'll see a link for "eSIMS" (click to see screenshot).  Click on that link to access eSIMS and register for classes.

I can log into the Portal, and I can go to eSIMS, but I can't register for classes!

CUNY's systems may have you associated with a college other than Hunter, or in a non-student role.  You need to check your CUNY Portal Profile to make sure your settings are correct.  We have step-by-step instructions on how to do that.

I have been getting correspondence from Hunter and/or CUNY, but my name/date of birth/personal information in it is wrong.

This will not prevent you from registering.  If you know the right "wrong" information--for instance, if your last name is "Smith" and your correspondence is being sent to "Mr./Ms. Smithee"--use the incorrect information to log in for the time being just so you can register for classes.  Once you're done registering, go to the Registrar's Office in Rm. 217 North to get your records corrected.

Exception: If you have a Social Security Number mismatch, come to the Help Desk in Rm. 109 North to resolve the problem.
