|
| What is DegreeWorks? | |
| DegreeWorks is an automatic degree audit system that enables
you to track your progress towards graduation available on the web. Your DegreeWorks report
compares information from the official college catalog with your individual coursework
(student transcript) and displays an easy-to-read report summarizing the courses you need to graduate. back to FAQs |
|
| Why should I use the DegreeWorks? | |
| DegreeWorks lists the requirements for your major, displays your
in-progress courses, courses completed and shows what courses remain to be completed to earn your degree. back to FAQs |
|
| How should I read my DegreeWorks report? | |
Your DegreeWorks report is divided into various sections and is intended to
be read from the top down. Each section contains a specific set of requirements as defined
in the official catalog for your degree, major, etc. The Student Header is the first section
on the report and contains various academic information. The next section is called Degree
section and contains graduation requirements. Once all the requirements are met a check mark
() or double squiggle mark
() is displayed to left of the
Degree title meaning you have unofficially satisfied all of your degree requirements and
should apply for graduation with the Registrar's Office. Otherwise, refer to the sections
below for details on your specific remaining and satisfied requirements. As you scroll down
the report, notice that each section is divided into two columns. The left column lists all
requirements and the right column lists the completed or in-progress (IP) courses being applied
to satisfy the requirements. If a requirement is unmet, a list of the applicable courses are
displayed and an unchecked box ( )
is displayed to the left of the requirement(s). Note that all requirements are taken directly from
the latest catalog. If you are following an earlier catalog your specific requirements may be
different. Various symbols are used within your degree progress report to represent ranges of
courses and transfer grades. Please refer to the legend at the top of your report for the symbol
definitions.back to FAQs |
|
| Who can help me understand the DegreeWorks and answer any questions about it? | |
| You can meet with an Advisor at the Advisement Center located in S763 and discuss
your audit. You can also discuss your audit with your faculty advisor, counselor or the
Registrar's Office. back to FAQs |
|
| What other information does my DegreeWorks report provide? | |
| Your audit will include information on your skills placement,
CPE tests results, and courses taken that do not count towards your degree. back to FAQs |
|
| Can the DegreeWorks help me decide what course(s) I should take next semester? | |
| The audit will show you the courses you need. To learn more about the
courses and to confirm if you have met the prerequisites, click on the course code
and it will link you to the catalog where you can read a description of the course. back to FAQs |
|
| What should I do if my DegreeWorks report says I still need a course that I know I completed or do not need to take? | |
| Due to the wide variety of possible exceptions and exemptions,
it is possible that your DegreeWorks report will not reflect all of your individual
exemptions. If you are approved for a specific exception or exemption and you are
unable to find the course within DegreeWorks, contact your advisor or department/program
chairperson. You are also advised to review your official transcript for more details. back to FAQs |
|
| What should I do if my DegreeWorks report is not applying courses to the requirements that I intended? | |
| DegreeWorks will try to apply your coursework as efficiently as possible. However,
since it is an automated system and is still very new, it is possible that some of your courses
may be applied to requirements or sections that were not your original intention. This is more
likely to happen when you first declare a major or change your major. back to FAQs |
|
| Is my DegreeWorks report the same as my transcript? | |
| NO. DegreeWorks is a computerized program that displays your academic
information based on catalog requirements. Your transcript lists the courses you have taken each semester. back to FAQs |
|
| Can I use my DegreeWorks report instead of a transcript if I want to transfer to another college? | |
| The audit is not an official transcript and all colleges require an
official transcript to evaluate your credits. back to FAQs |
|
| Why can't I edit my student planner? | |
| Students are not allowed to edit a Planner. If you need to edit a Planner you
must see your advisor who has the capability to edit you Planner. back to FAQs |

An "NC" grade can be assigned to a first semester freshman who has completed a course with
a "D" (with the student's permission) or an "F" grade. An "NC" grade can also be assigned to
a Nursing course one time only during the 2nd-4th clinical semesters, when a student has
earned a grade lower than "C" Students who transfer to another institution should note
that "NC" grades may be treated as "F" grades.
While enrolled at BMCC, your academic performance is continually evaluated in order that
you and the College can determine how you are progressing in your studies. Your evaluation
is based upon your cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). The following minimum retention
standards must be met:
Cumulative Credits Attempted
Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
0-12
1.50
13-24
1.75
25-upward
2.00
Students are placed on academic probation if their GPA falls below minimum retention standards.
During the probationary period, students maintain their academic standing with the College but
are limited to 12 credits until they attain the minimum required GPA.
Students whose GPA falls below minimum retention standards for two semesters are
academically dismissed. Academically dismissed students may not attend BMCC or any CUNY
college for at least one semester.
