STEP 2: Complete Financial Aid To Dos

Here are some common Holds and what you need to do at CSI

Admissions Services Indicator: Need Proof of NYC Residency

Context: The student needs to confirm their NYC Residency to receive in-city tuition rates.

What to do: Students who graduated from a NYC high school should not face this challenge. If they do, fill out this form or call the admissions office.

Admissions Services Indicator: Affidavit/Undocumented

Context: The student needs to complete an affidavit regarding their immigration status. This information will be kept confidential.

What to do: Fill out and submit this form.

Advisement Required Hold

Context: This is a hold for all new students, it cannot be removed. It means the student needs to speak with an advisor before they can register for classes.

What to do: Speak with an advisor! Check email for information about making a registration appointment.

STEP 5: Advisement/Orientation

At College of Staten Island

the first step is to attend VCART. Learn more here.
Questions? Email freshmenadvisement@csi.cuny.edu

All students must attend a New Student Orientation. Find out more here.
They must also attend a CLUE session as part of their Registration. Find out more here.

Note: After a student commits, an advisement hold (ADV-ADV service indicator) is placed on their record to ensure advisement before registration. It is removed right before the advisement session.

After the schedule has been approved by the student, the advisor will post a CAR-CART hold/service indicator on the student's record to prevent any registration transactions without consultation. Many times there are academic and financial implications to possible changes that must be addressed first. Students will be able to register after the advisor has approved their schedule.
