After registering for courses, the CUNYfirst system will generate a bill. For an overview of your charges:

1. Login to CUNYfirst 
2. Click Student Center
3. Click Financial Account
4. Select Account Balance or Account Activity

If you need something more official, your tuition statement, or e-bill, includes all semester charges, payments and financial aid. Statements are generated for each semester of enrollment and include:

• Tuition, fees and other charges
• Student payments
• Financial aid payments
• Anticipated aid (authorized financial aid that is pending disbursement)
• Class schedule

Access your e-bill by following these steps:

1. Login to CUNYfirst 
2. Click Student Center
3. Click Financial Account
4. Select View E-Bill

The School of Labor and Urban Studies uses electronic billing (e-bill) as its official billing method.

• e-bill is available on CUNYfirst within 24-hours of registration; statements are not mailed
• Students are responsible to pay their e-bill by the scheduled due date
• Failure to review the account summary or e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying on time
• Administrative, clerical, or technical billing errors do not absolve students of their financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees and other associated costs
• e-bill is not proof of payment for education tax credits/tax filings. The appropriate form for this purpose is the 1098-T. Furthermore, e-bill is not a substitute for a transcript or enrollment verification, if such a document is required for scholarships, medical coverage, loan deferments, jury duty, car insurance etc. Course grades and GPA are not contained on e-bill
