See To Dos by campus by clicking on ‘more’ under the To Do List and complete ones that say LaGuardia CC under “Institution”
If your financial aid says “financial aid pending”, that means that the FAFSA was processed and you don’t have other steps you need to take right now.

What’s the Process to Register for Classes?
You need to create your LaGuardia VIP Account
This account is different than your CUNYFirst Account.
Your VIP login name and password was in your acceptance email. If you can’t find it, click “forgot password”
In your VIP Account, you’ll see your class schedule based on LaGuardia’s recommendations
You have to review it in CUNYFirst and then click “Accept” in your VIP account
In CUNYFirst, you can click “launch schedule builder” and sort classes by remote, in-person, etc.
Even if you want to change some of your classes, you should click “Accept”. You can change the classes afterwards.
Once you’ve registered for classes, you’ll get an email to make an appointment to meet with an advisor.
In August, sometimes students will be invited to meet with an advisor before they have a schedule (this is more common as we get closer to the first day of classes)
If you’re having a hard time with the VIP Page, email infonow@lagcc.cuny.edu or call 718-482-5000
