A professor or advisor will be able to contact a DegreeWorks coordinator so that incorrect information can be fixed.<\/p>\n LASAR, primary, or any other problems can be directed to the Advising Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n Inquiries can be emailed to degreeworks@qc.cuny.edu<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why can’t I see my audit?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Most undergraduates should be able to view their audit.

If necessary, a ticket will be made to fix any access issues.<\/p>\n New freshman and transfers: After registering for classes, please wait about a week for your audit to update. If you are still receiving an error message, visit the OIT Help Desk.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”I just registered for or dropped courses.

It informs you of your future course choices and provides you with a grade point average in your major.\u00a0<\/p>\n Your transcript is your official college record. While it lists the courses you have taken by term, it does not match them with any program requirements. Official copies must be requested from the Registrar\u2019s Office in Jefferson Hall, Room 100. Unofficial transcripts are available in CUNYfirst.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does the \u201c@\u201d sign mean?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n When you see an \u201c@\u201d sign next to any of your requirements, that means that you can take any course number to fulfill it. For example, if you need to take \u201c3 credits in SOC @\u201d for an elective requirement, then you can take any 3-credit Sociology course. On the other hand, if your requirement is to take \u201c3 credits in SOC 2@,\u201d then you will need to take 3 credits in a 200-level course.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is a What If audit? ” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_ol_item_indent=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n The What If function is a great tool to use if you want to change or add a major, minor, or concentration. To create a What If audit:<\/p>\n Carefully review the requirements for the new programs to see how this will affect your future semesters. You can discuss these new programs with an advisor.<\/p>\n What If audits are not saved in DegreeWorks, so you will need to follow the steps above to revisit any What If audit you create. You can print your What If audit for future reference.<\/p>\n Please note: A What If audit does not officially change your major. You will need to visit the Registrar\u2019s Office to file the appropriate form.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is the Look Ahead function?” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you plan to take courses and are unsure of how they will affect your degree requirements, you can use the Look Ahead function. To access this function:<\/p>\n \u00a0Enter course Subjects and Numbers carefully (ENGL 110 not ENG 110)! Incorrect entries will not be placed with the appropriate requirement, and courses will appear blue in your audit.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Who can train me to use DegreeWorks effectively?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Student and advisor manuals are available in the DegreeWorks page on MyQC.
