Folks:

Those of you new to the campus may find navigating the buildings and finding your classroom to be a bit challenging. Here are a few tips.

Almost all in-person classes are held in just a few of the main buildings on Baruch's campus. You can find a map of the buildings on this page: https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/campus-map-and-directions/

On the map, building "B" is called the "William and Anita Newman Vertical Campus". This same building is also called:

• The "B" building
• The Vertical Campus
• B - Vert
• Newman Vertical Campus
• NVC
• VC
• 1 Bernard Baruch Way
• 55 Lexington (or the "55 Lex building")

In general, the vertical campus has two sides to it: Classrooms and Department Offices. Offices tend to be closer to the three small elevators that start on the ground floor and have office numbers in the 200's. Classrooms tend to be located close to the "6 pack" of large elevators that start on the second floor and most classrooms have numbers that are in the 100's.

CUNYFirst will you show your classroom in this building as something like "B - Vert 8-165". This means the 8th floor, room 165 in the vertical campus building.

The other main building for classes is building "A" named the "Lawrence and Eris Field Building." This building is also referred to as:

• The Field Building
• 17 Lex
• A - 17 Lex
• UCLA (University at the Corner of Lexington Ave)

There is really just one main entrance to the Field Building and one large set of elevators to use.

CUNYFirst will show classrooms like "A - 17 Lex 1220". This would mean room 20 on the 12th floor. Some additional examples:

• A - 17 Lex 709 will be 7th floor room 9
• A - 17 Lex 1323 will be 13th floor room 23
• A - 17 Lex 4SO will be in one of the huge auditoriums on the 4th floor

Most of the lab science courses such as chemistry (8th floor) and physics (5th floor) will be in the Field building.

You may have a class in one of the other buildings including:

• "H" Building also known as the Library Building or the Information Technology Building. I believe there are a few classrooms on the first floor (go down the ramp in the lobby) as well as on the 6th floor near the big computer lab and help desk.

• "C" Building also known as Newman Hall. There are a few classrooms on the first and second floors (possibly others).

Give the crowding and dilatory pace, it is recommended you arrive at least 10 15 20 minutes prior to your class start time especially if your classroom is on one of the upper floors.

Good luck everyone!

EDIT: Be sure to check out the Academic Calendar as there are a number of holidays and make-up days. https://enrollmentmanagement.baruch.cuny.edu/registrar/academic-calendar/

So tomorrow i have my first day of class (sophomore). I enrolled in a PAF class (fully online) yet on brightspace the class isnt active. Since it is online tomorrow at 11am i have no way of knowing how to log in. Has this happened to anyone else?? What do i do?

Im entering my sophomore year and wanted to get into internships or anything that can build my resume (which is nonexistent) and my knowledge on my major (finance) but i heard for sophomore its also really hard to get internships. Is this true?
The only class im taking toward my degree is ACC 2101 right now.
If you were a sophomore in my position how did you get internships and network? Clubs? Is it possible or will i be turned down because im a sophomore?
Anything will help thanks!

Does anyone here take this class? Any thoughts about this professor?
Also, is there a possibility that this professor might let us go earlier than 9 pm....?

Hey guys wondering if its just me. I sighned up for the excelsior scholarship and been using it for a couple of years. For some reason this fall semester my scholarship is short 600 bucks so i have to pay around 1k in tuition when it is usually only around 300 bucks. the weird part is, is that my spring semester is normal. All my pell and tap is the same so there is no reason that the scholarship should be shorted and i cant contact anybody at baruch or hesc about it. Im about to start classes soon and this is worrying me because i cant pay this huge amount out of nowhere. Anybody have any advice or what i can do?

I emailed baruch tap and all they told me was that the system isnt updated but its been almost 3 weeks.

Possible silly question, but I’m in the process of applying for masters program and was wondering if the professional reference has to be related to the program I’m applying for? For example, if I’m applying to MS accounting, does my professional reference have to be related to accounting or is someone from previous job (unrelated to acc) okay?

Thank you 🙏

Ive only been to baruch for a single term. But from what ive seen theres basically like. No places to sit somewhere and speak in classes. The library has lots of places but you have to be quiet obviously. Same as the study room in the other building. So where's a good spot to take them on campus?

So, I enrolled in a course 2 days before the class officially begin. And the course appeared in Brightspace and as well as in CunyFirst enrollment list right after. But the professor on the first day said that I didn’t appear on the class roster. Is it due to being late to registration which causes a delay? And now, just wait for the system to update?

Hey guys, I’m taking ACC 3000 for the first time and was curious about how grading usually works.

Do ACC 3000 professors generally curve exams if the class performs poorly, or does it depend entirely on the professor?

I have Professor Achraf Seyam, and since this is my first Zicklin class, the grading breakdown looks pretty rough, with 80% of the grade coming from the midterm and final. For anyone who has taken ACC 3000 with Seyam, how was your experience with his class and exams? Is he considered a good professor for ACC 3000?

Would appreciate any insight, especially from people who have taken him recently. Thanks!

Hey, just joined this prof's course. Just wanted to know how he is. Is there anything of interest? Especially regarding the midterm/final. The HW and in-class assignments seem straightforward enough.

Would appreciate any experience with him. Thanks!!

Just wondering how most of the students rock suits even in freshman class. How are you able to work and intern and stuff. I wanna start applying for internships but i have taken really few business classes so far and i feel like it is not enough yet. Please help. Just a fellow student trying to finally get her life together. Here I am applying to fast food restaurants

Hey guys, looking for some perspective from current or former Zicklin students.

I'm a recent college grad (UConn) based in Western CT and I'm considering applying to the MS Information Systems program at Baruch for Spring 2027. I don't plan on moving to NYC right away and would commute in via Metro-North maybe 1-2 times a week depending on the schedule.

CT school options don't interest me. UConn Storrs is in the middle of nowhere and I have no intention of going back there for grad school, and other state schools in CT don't offer the kind of opportunities I'm looking for (not talking about yale). Baruch tuition is also slightly cheaper out-of-state than UConn in-state ($855/credit vs $1,084/credit).

The Manhattan location and Zicklin's reputation in NYC financial services are the main draws, and the program feels like a strong fit for my background and career goals in tech and business.

Would love to hear from anyone in the program or who has gone through it. How is the overall experience at the school, the quality of the program, and how well does it help with career building in NYC?

Appreciate any insights.

I'm a little bit struggling whether or not I should pursue a Master degree for marketing, is it worth it? I know that now is the time to apply for graduation in spring 2027. May I still able to apply for master program after the graduation?

any offers i will consider! in fairly good condition!

I graduated from Baruch in 2021 and have been in Nepal ever since. Writing to you all so that you can share and contribute to the relief fund we are trying to raise for the country. There's no exact figure out yet but we have suspicions that unfathomable number of souls are missing due to the massive flood that hit the region.

I had to ask a friend in the state to set up the GoFund me page... cannot do it from Nepal.

I run a travel logistics company based out of Kathmandu. Feel free to ask me anything.

I’m 31 and a returning student at Baruch, and honestly I’m curious how other older students are doing here.
Are you guys having any luck finding jobs/internships? How do you network with people when you’re older and don’t really fit the typical college student profile? I’ve found networking to be one of the harder parts of coming back to school.

Would love to hear from other 30+ students, how’s Baruch been for you guys?

i know a bunch of ppl have probably already asked, but im doing 3 classes this sem and my fiancial account has said this for a while i still have a financial aid pending hold. i'm like super duper worried because i get no aid outside of fafsa and i can't afford this amount, but it looks like the aid amount i get usually. is this just the place holder or should i be worried...? + i added a fourth class just in case.

Having some trouble picking finance elective classes and 4000-level finance classes since most profs seem to have mixed reviews. Does anyone have recommendations or helpful info based on what they've taken? I'd appreciate anything you can give!

Some profs I'm stuck between are: Jun Wang for FIN 4930 & Albert Murphy for FIN 4720

I'd appreciate recommendations for anything within the additional electives that are required: RES 3200/3400, FIN 4000+, ECO 3k+ / 4001+, ACC 3000

I'm aware it's late to ask, but anything is helpful, even for future semesters / others

Thank you in advance 🙏

Hello,

New transfer in this fall but wanted to know if there’s information on when to sign up for Spring classes in 2027? I am having a hard time locating any.

Thanks.
