Upload and submit documents to the Office of the Registrar using the CUNYfirst Document Uploader.

  1. Log in to CUNYfirst.
  2. Select Student Center and navigate to Student Tools.
  3. Select Document Upload. The Document Upload page displays with your name and 8-Digit CUNYfirst ID.
  4. Using the Document Class drop-down menu, select Registrar from the following document classes corresponding to the document to be uploaded:
    • Admissions
    • Financial Aid
    • Health Services
    • Registrar


    A Document Type drop-down menu is added to the Document Upload page.

  5. Using the Document Type drop-down menu, select the type of document being uploaded to the Office of the Registrar (ex. Citizenship Proof, FERPA, Name Change etc.)

  6. Click on the >> (“Go”) button to the right of the Document Type drop-down menu. A message displays to inform you that you are transferring to the Student Document Repository system.

  7. Click the OK button to continue with the document upload. If you are presented with a Student Document Repository login prompt, enter your CUNY Login credentials and click Log In. A Student Document Repository page is displayed. (Note that you may not need to login). Depending on the document class selected, the page may contain Properties fields with your name, Emplid (8-Digit CUNYfirst ID), and the document class and type selections from CUNYfirst. Note: If you are using a mobile device and your Emplid and name are not displayed, change the browser settings to desktop mode and refresh the page. Your documents will not upload correctly if this information is not displayed.

  8. Click the Choose Files button to open your computer’s file manager/explorer tool. Note: You can select multiple files to upload for the document type selected. Each file to be uploaded must be less than 20 MB. The selected file name displays next to the Choose Files button.
  9. If you need to confirm or change the document type before uploading the file, click the Document Type drop-down menu.
  10. Click the Add button at the lower right of the window to upload the file. If you encounter an error message during the file upload, contact your campus help desk or wait a while before trying to upload the file again.
