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): [link]
• 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.
