Degree Requirements Section
♦ In Progress (IP) courses are counted in 'Credits Applied' totals. ♦
This section provides a summary of the degree requirements as well as the overall credits required to graduate. For questions regarding transfer credits, please contact Transfer Evaluation Services at CCNY.
Note: If a student is missing any transfer credits or courses, please refer the student to the Transfer Evaluation Services to ensure that all transcripts are evaluated posted on CUNYfirst.
Elective Credits Allowed Count
In the degree requirement section, the total number of "Elective Credits Allowed" for the degree is available.
CUNY Skills Assessment
This section displays the status of the Skills Assessment Requirements. If these requirements are not fulfilled, please contact the Office of Evaluation and Testing at testing@ccny.cuny.edu .
Pathways-General Education Requirements
General Education or Pathways requirements will display based upon the year of entry into City College. For details regarding the pathways requirements contact a DegreeWorks liaison/advisor in your division. Click here to locate an advisor/liaison.
NOTE: If a student holds a prior degree (AA, AS or Baccalaureate) general education/pathways requirements are waived and the following section will not appear in the audit.
College Option Section
The College Option section shows the college specific requirements that you need to fulfill for your degree. The number of College Option credits is 6, 9, or 12, depending upon the number of transfer credits and whether or not an associate degree has been earned.
NOTE: If a student holds a prior baccalaureate degree, the college option requirements are waived and the following section will not appear in the audit.

Major Requirements Section
The major requirements section lists the specific courses that are required to complete a major.
Elective Classes Allowed
This section shows elective classes that may be used toward the completion of the degree.
Elective Classes NOT Allowed (This section impacts Financial Aid)
This section is very important in DegreeWorks because it impacts financial aid and therefore the TAP award. The courses in this category are not required toward the degree, according to the curriculum of record, and will therefore trigger a course ineligibility flag in the Financial Aid Certification & Tracking System (FACTS) for financial aid.
NOTE: Each semester please ensure that the course(s) "In-progress" do not fall into this section. If any course(s) a student is currently enrolled in falls into the "Elective Classes Not Allowed" section of the audit, the student must contact a DegreeWorks liaison within your school or division in order to reconcile.
Click here to locate an advisor/liaison.
Insufficient/Non-Contributing Grades and Pending Permit Courses
This section is a good way to quickly see failed, withdrawn, and repeated courses.
In-Progress
This section shows the classes that are currently in progress.
Note: In Progress (IP) courses are counted in 'Credits Applied' totals on degree requirements section.
