Hostos Wireless Network

The Hostos campus has wireless access throughout. If you have a wireless capable device, you can connect to the Internet via the Hostos_Wireless network using your Hostos usernname and password.

Educational Technology

Many professors use an online learning system, called Blackboard, for their classes. Once you have a CUNYfirst username and password, you can access Blackboard directly through a link in the Hostos or CUNY webpage, and all your courses which are using Blackboard should show up automatically. Just follow the instructions. If you need some "hands-on" support with this process, you can go to the Student Help Desk in the C-595 lab.

CUNYfirst Username and Password

Your CUNYfirst password expires every three months.

Logging into CUNYfirst will allow you to see your grades, sign up for classes, and see all your financial information. It also lets you sign up for CUNY Alert (see the next topic below titled CUNY Alert).

Use your CUNYfirst username and Password to access Blackboard. When you click on any link to Blackboard, it will take you to the Blackboard login page (ex: Select Login To from the top menu in the Hostos website and select Blackboard under the Students section). Type in your CUNYfirst Username followed by @login.cuny.edu, then your CUNYfirst Password in the Password field. For example, if your CUNYfirst Username is John.Doe22 the Username you enter to login to Blackboard must be John.Doe22@login.cuny.edu. The Username field is already populated with the @login.cuny.edu.

Similarly, you can also access the Hostos Bookstore with these login credentials.

CUNY Alert

CUNY Alert is a new emergency notification system that enables the University’s campuses to advise students, faculty and staff of an emergency (a severe hurricane or security situation, for example) and provide timely information to protect lives and minimize campus disruption.
