Step 2: Submit the $100 commitment deposit on CUNYfirst.

Step 3: Take any proficiency exam(s) that may be required based on your Testing Ticket. Newly admitted students no longer need to take the math placement exam. Previous coursework will be used towards placement.

Step 4: Set up your Baruch email.  Allow one to two weeks after your commitment deposit has been received for your access to your Baruch email.

Step 5: Once you have access to your Baruch email, check your Baruch email for your invitation to Orientation.  Follow the instructions in your email to select your Orientation date.  We will begin sending Orientation invitations in May for fall enrollment and in November for spring enrollment.

Step 6: Review the Baruch curriculum and submit any necessary forms and documents prior to your Orientation day.

Step 7: Check your Baruch email for the Zoom log in information two days before your Orientation date.

Step 8: Download the Zoom app and set up your account.

Step 9: Log into Zoom on time and plan to stay for the duration of the program, 9:30 am until 2:00 pm EST.  We recommend using a computer rather than a phone or tablet to complete the orientation program.
