DegreeWorks is an easily accessible and user-friendly advisement tool. It compares your academic achievement to your major requirements as found in the college catalog.
DegreeWorks is accessible through the Advisement/Transcript area of your CUNYfirst Student Center or through the DegreeWorks page.
Registration information (i.e., grade changes, or classes added/dropped) is refreshed each night. Curriculum/Major changes are refreshed weekly.
Yes. DegreeWorks is laid out in block format displaying degree, skills, general education, and major requirements. Look for unchecked boxes to identify requirements that you still need to complete and green check marks for requirements you have already fulfilled.
If you hover over any course number with your mouse, the name and credit hours for the course will display.
This is a wild card in DegreeWorks. It allows you many choices in a given subject area. For example, if the @ sign appears after a subject prefix i.e., ACC@, it means that you can take any Accounting course.
The additional flexible common core requirement can be fulfill by any course within the flexible core categories: World Cultures and Global Issues, U.S. Experience in its Diversity, Creative Expression, Individual and Society, or Scientific World unless otherwise specified. For more information on your general education, please see the Pathways area of our website.
In most cases, yes. DegreeWorks is programmed to recognize that some courses can fulfill more than one requirement. For example, if your major requires BIO 1101 this course can be used to fulfill both your major requirement and your general education requirement. If you have any concerns about your Audit, check the requirements for your major in the College Catalog, before contacting your academic advisor.
our Audit is a tool to provide you with academic information related to your degree progress. It displays courses required and completed in your degree program. Your transcript is your official College record and provides a chronological list of courses you completed in semester order, and other academic information. Your official transcript must be requested from the Office of the Registrar.
Several times a semester. You should always review your Audit:
"What if" is an option on the Audit that allows students to look at how the courses they have taken would apply toward other majors. It does not change your major or your course history; it just allows you to see how your courses would apply if you decided to change your major.
If your request to substitute a course is approved: The substitute course will be used to fulfill your requirement.
If you repeat a course, the highest grade you earn will be the one that counts toward degree requirements. This will be the grade that appears on your worksheet as fulfilling the requirement. After your second attempt is complete, the lower grade will be placed in an "insufficient" category at the bottom of your worksheet. The courses in this area do not count toward your total credits, and they cannot be used to fulfill requirements.
Please ask your advisor for assistance. Below are the most common problems and courses of action:
Requirements for most majors change over time and are tied to the Catalog year in which you matriculated in your major. If you think your Audit is incorrect, check the catalog term that appears on the major requirements block of the audit. According to our records this is the catalog term that applies to you. If you believe the Catalog year is incorrect, contact an advisor.
DegreeWorks uses a ‘first fit’ approach for meeting requirements. This means classes fulfill requirements in the chronological order that they were taken. This is normal and should be in your best interests. However, if you are concerned, please contact your advisor.
If you are concerned about how your transfer courses are being applied to your Audit, you can view their requirement designation aka pathway category by viewing your unofficial transcript. If you have additional question, please contact your advisor.
Course substitutions must get approved by multiple departments before being processed. Please contact your major department for the status of the request.
Beginning Summer 2024 all courses will be taught on Brightspace.
