Undergraduates must declare a major prior to registering for the 60th credit. Failure to declare a major once a student has reached 60 credits will make a student ineligible to receive TAP (NYS Tuition Assistance). A major must be declared within the first two weeks of a semester.

To declare a major, do an I-declare request using the I-declare link in Lehman 360. Follow the same procedure to declare a minor. To have the major approved in the School of Business, students must have an advising appointment with one of the schools' advisors.

Minors are not required but if space permits it is recommended that students use minors to enhance their learning. Minors may be used to complement the academic work of the major or to explore different areas of learning.

Generally, registration is open 2 months prior to the semester start date. Each semester, you should check when registration begins by clicking ‘Academic Calendar’ located on the left hand side of the Office of the Registrar’s main webpage.

Please note the final exam schedule is also listed on this site.

Registration for courses at Lehman College is conducted over the internet using CUNYFirst. In-person registration is ONLY provided to incoming freshmen entering Lehman College for the first time. More information on registering for courses can be located by clicking ‘Registration’ located on the left hand side of the Office of the Registrar’s main webpage.

If you have not taken the prerequisite and want to take the course, please contact the Department advisors, Mrs. Deirdre Constant or Ms. Griselda Poe, to determine your eligibility for taking the course. They are best reached by email at deirdre.constant@lehman.cuny.edu or griselda.poe@lehman.cuny.edu. Be sure to include your emplid student identification number in all correspondence.

Students are allotted registration appointments according to the number of credits they have accumulated. Seniors get the first appointments to register. It is vital that students become aware of their appointment time (listed in CUNYFirst) and then enroll as early as possible for their classes. If a class is closed, a waitlist is in place for business and accounting classes. Students must enroll on the waitlist just as if they were enrolling for a class. They check ‘waitlist if full’ to get on the waitlist. A class will show up as ‘waiting’ on the schedule. If a space becomes available, the student who is #1 on the waitlist is enrolled in that course. The waitlist is to ensure that all students are treated fairly. Classes are not over tallied.

The Department of Economics and Business uses class waitlists for fairness and for the convenience of students. If a needed class is closed, students are encouraged to ‘enroll’ and click ‘waitlist if full’ to enroll on the waitlist. When a space becomes available in a class, the first student on the waitlist will become enrolled.

Students should be aware that if they enroll on the WL for several sections for the same class, they will receive a seat only in the first class that has an opening. Enrolling on a waitlist is NOT a guarantee of a spot in a class, nor a guarantee of a particular teacher. If a student chooses to enroll on a waitlist when other sections of the class are open, they risk not getting a seat in the class that semester. Students must monitor their class schedules to see if their status has moved from 'waiting' to 'enrolled.'

When students transfer, especially from schools abroad, we do not know what classes at Lehman they may be equivalent to. Students are asked to upload description of their transfer courses in Lehman 360 in order to have courses evaluated. The course evaluation is done by School of Business advisors and is updated by the Admissions Office. If a student thinks the evaluation is incorrect, they may provide additional information or a syllabus to the advisors to have the course re-evaluated. Students should make an appointment and email or bring the additional information to the advising appointment. Documents in a foreign language must be translated.

Each semester, you may check when classes begin by clicking ‘Academic Calendar’ located on the left hand side of the Office of the Registrar’s main webpage.

Students should also check the calendar for

• Cancellation dates (dates by which if you have not paid, your classes will be dropped)
• Deadlines for withdrawing from classes
• Holidays when school is closed
• Verification of attendance – (if you have not attended by this date you will be dropped from classes)
• Deadlines to apply for graduation
• Deadlines for grade submission

Blackboard is a web-based tool that allows professors and students to participate in course activities outside of the classroom. Blackboard allows professors to post announcements, quizzes, surveys, course syllabus, texts, spreadsheets, etc. Additionally, Blackboard offers students the opportunity to communicate through discussion boards and virtual chat rooms.

Blackboard may be accessed through Lehman’s main web page. If you have questions pertaining to your account or accessing Blackboard, contact Lehman College Help Desk at 718-960-1111 or e-mail: help.desk@lehman.cuny.edu.

Refer to your syllabus for contact information or go to the department's faculty page or the college directory and locate the professor you wish to contact. There you will be provided each professor’s phone number and e-mail address. It is recommended that you use e-mail to contact a professor because professors are not typically in their office every day. Professors have office hours each week. Please check your syllabus for office hours and use that time to connect with your professors and ask questions. It is usually advisable to make an appointment to see them during their office hours.
