CCNY/CWE Downtown Graduation

DEGREE AUDITS 

Degree audits are a must. Students should apply by the time they obtain 85+ credits. Complete the application online. If you have questions after you receive your audit contact the cwefrontdesk@ccny.cuny.edu to schedule an appointment with your advisor to review your audit. Students in both cohorts should have consulted with their advisors to ensure fulfillment of all requirements for graduation.  Go to the link below to apply for a degree audit.

Bachelor of Arts: 

The degree audit is an official statement of what requirements you have completed towards your degree according to your official records.  This will help you plan your remaining semesters so you can complete your degree and graduate on time.  It also gives you the opportunity to address discrepancies between the official records and your records. This degree audits is performed only ONCE for each student.  The audit will be emailed to your CCNY email when it is completed.  When you receive the audit, you need to review and discuss with your academic advisor if you have any questions/issues. You should then be able to track your progress toward your degree yourself using the audit report and during discussions with your academic advisor.
