Warnings for CCNY Engineering Undergrads
- Don’t register for a course unless you expect to satisfy its
prerequisites before it starts (and unless you take
its corequisites at the same time as it). If you get an insufficient
grade in one of its prerequisites, drop it. Otherwise you will be
removed from the course during the semester. Your tuition will not be
refunded. If you drop below 12 credits as a result, visa status and financial
aid will be invalidated.
- You cannot register for next semester’s classes until
you get advising, producing a signed form. If you have
completed <45 credits go to Steinman M ndash nbsp nbsp ge credits see advising faculty in your department The schedule will be announced toward the end of the semester>
- Corollary: Check your CCNY e-mail account every week (or
forward it):

- You can only take courses in Engineering school departments if you are
an Engineering school major. You can only declare one of the Engineering
majors if you satisfy certain GPA and math requirements, either upon admission
or upon changing majors.
- Transfer credit is not transitive. If a course C1 taken at school
S1 results in transfer credit at school S2 for a course C2 there, then course
C1—not course C2—will be evaluated for transfer credit when you
transfer to CCNY.
- Once you are admitted to CCNY, you can take a course elsewhere
and get credit for an equivalent course here only if you apply in
advance to take it “on permit,” and get permission to do so.
- If your choice of courses violates or doesn’t satisfy published
requirements, you must have written permission signed by the department
chair and the undergrad dean. Nothing verbal is a guarantee—get it in
writing, or else don’t violate requirements (or else suffer the
consequences).
- Corollary: Read your major’s curriculum grid, and
read the CCNY Bulletin book. The grid takes precedence.
- If you are absent from CCNY for a semester or more, then you must
satisfy the new major requirements that are in effect when you
return.
- Do a preliminary graduation check two semesters before the one in
which you apply for graduation. Undergrad Affairs (St 209) will provide
forms, after which you check which degree requirements you still must
satisfy. The department advisor will then check your work; and
finally, Undergrad Affairs will check both and compare, and mail you
the result. Only this final result is a guarantee of which
requirements are satisfied and which remain.
