- Faculty will be required to enter Census Date Attendance data into both Web Attendance and the CUNYfirst system.
- Faculty should continue to use Web Attendance for taking daily attendance.
Yes, you will. To download the faculty guide to grade submission, visit the LaGuardia Community College
Self Service Training Guides page on our web site and click on the "Faculty Self Service" category, and then click on "Submit Grade Roster."
Yes. For example, let’s say you are faculty chairperson. You will have access to CUNYfirst Student processes needed to do your job in your department. You may also have access to Human Resources processes in your role as someone who manages people or hires new employees. Additionally, you may have access to Finance processes for purchasing department or office materials seeking reimbursement for expenses. With CUNYfirst, access to all functions with one sign-on is in one integrated system!
For access to functions you do not have or that you want to remove from your account, you must modify your security roles by reviewing and completing a Campus Solutions Security Access Request Form and submitting it through the appropriate approval process in order to be granted access to Campus Solutions. To access the forms and for details, visit our
CUNYfirst Security For Campus Solutions web page. All security requests are subject to review and approval.
Do not complete the CUNYfirst Faculty/Staff Questions? Need Help? Form. For questions regarding this process, please contact the College’s Application Security Liaisons at:
cunyfirstASL@lagcc.cuny.edu. For more information regarding Security Access, please visit
our website.
These indicators DO NOT restrict our students from registering at LaGuardia. Please do not send students to departments if they have active Negative Service Indicators (formerly known as Stops) from other CUNY schools.
Transfer student calls regarding CUNYfirst, i.e., claiming account, registration issues, etc., to the Student Information Center at extension 5935.
Students requesting in-person assistance with registration or CUNYfirst should be directed to the Registration Support Lab located in room B333.
DegreeWorks migration to the central system has begun. Until it is completed, the local DegreeWorks system is available, but only reflects status as of June 28th. Any course drops recorded after June 28 were entered in CUNYfirst and are not reflected in the DegreeWorks Audit.
Although you can view a student’s academic record for a previous semester in SIMS, it is recommended that you view student records in CUNYfirst under "Student Services Center."
Yes and no. While some testing requires us to get a wide range of
experiences as we put the processes through their paces, we may have
some campus experts participate in one test while others are called for
another. Since we are creating common business processes to be used
across the university, we want to make sure we will use something that
works at every campus.
For the General Ledger, we have converted two years of financial data. For the Human Resources processes, we have all historic employee data. With student systems, we have six years of information available live, and 24 years archived.
No. CUNYfirst can be accessed from anywhere via your favorite internet
browser. There are specific requirements for which browsers can be used,
but if you have a computer at home, you can sign on to look at your
personnel information or, in the future, fill out a time sheet. Campus
IT teams are making computers available at various locations at the
colleges for those who don’t use computers in their daily work.
There are three main areas at CUNY where new processes will be
implemented – Finance, Human Resources and Student Administration.
Finance:
General Ledger, Procurement (Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Expenses),
Planning and Budgeting, Accounts Receivable, Asset Management, Cash and
Deal Management.
Human Resources: Base HR Processes,
Base Benefit Processes, Recruitment, Time and Labor, Leave Management
and Payroll (interfaces with NY State and NYC).
Student Administration: Academic Structure, Course Catalogue, Schedule of Classes, Student Financials, Student Records, Financial Aid and Admissions.
The CUNYfirst system is hosted by our partners from Oracle at a site in
Atlanta, Georgia. That means our data and processes are going back and
forth on the highest quality data lines from New York to there. Each
day, current CUNY data is replicated at a second site every 15 minutes,
also in Georgia, but far enough away to ensure that any compromises at
the primary site (weather, natural disaster, etc.) will not be
replicated because of proximity. The systems are backed up every night.
In case of a shutdown at our primary site, a recovery plan has already
been created to ensure a smooth transition to the backup data, and, when
our technical teams have it available again, a smooth transition to our
primary site.
Faculty can view rosters and class schedules, perform a class search, advise students, and assign grades. As advisors, faculty benefit from the resources within CUNYfirst that allow access to the same information as seen by students. Different departments may have access to the same student at the same time, thereby eliminating wait time or the need to send students to different offices.
A major feature of the CUNY ERP will be its self-service functions,
allowing faculty and staff to view portions of their HR records,
including a listing of current chosen benefits.
No. In CUNYfirst everyone was assigned roles based on the work they do. Those roles were determined by managers and supervisors who translated work into CUNYfirst functions. When that was determined, training was available to you to perform the exact tasks you need to do your job - no more, no less. If it is determined you need training on additional functions outside your role, your supervisors/bosses are responsible for ensuring that you receive the necessary training to do your job.
If their work is such that they need access to CUNYfirst processes, then
yes. If an RF employee manages CUNY or campus people, then they’ll need
access to the managerial functions in HR. Otherwise, they’ll be part of
a group of employees that have a tangential relationship to CUNYfirst,
as they do now.
If you are a non-tax levy employee who will need to use CUNYfirst to support students, please go to Human Resources E407. Let them know that you are a non-tax levy employee who needs to have access to CUNYfirst to support students. Once HR inputs your information in CUNYfirst, then you will be able to create your account.
Yes. The new procurement module, the FINANCE section of CUNYfirst, has a tracking feature that allows everyone who is involved in a procurement, from requestors to those who track packages and deliveries as well as the payment for such procurements, to see its status. There is also a feature in the Procurement system that allows checking the budgeted funds against the purchase order.
