DegreeWorks is a web-based program that enables you to easily track your academic progress. You will be able to see how specific College requirements have been met and what courses you can take to fulfill the requirements which are remaining. With the ‘What If’ feature, you will also be able to see how your academic requirements might change if you were to change your major. DegreeWorks can be found in your Student Center in CUNYfirst.

DegreeWorks FAQs
How is a DegreeWorks worksheet different from a transcript?
DegreeWorks is not your academic transcript nor is it an official notification of completion of degree requirements. Changes made to your official academic record will take at least 24-48 hours to be reflected in your DegreeWorks report. This progress report does not supersede the College Catalog and/or academic policies. Your transcript, however, is your official College record, and it must be requested from the Registrar’s Office. Go to the College website and search for Transcript Request for more details.
If this is not an official review of my degree requirements, where can I go to find out what other requirements I might need?
To find out what other requirements you might need, please make an appointment with an Academic Advisor who will review your requirements.
According to my audit, “Credits Applied” indicates I have more credits than I’ve actually completed. Why?
DegreeWorks counts completed and in-progress courses, currently in-progress and future courses you have registered for, in the ‘Credits Applied’ category.
Why are my newly registered courses or classes currently in-progress (IP) not appearing on my DegreeWorks worksheet?
Newly registered courses and information from CUNYfirst usually takes least 24-48 hours to be reflected and uploaded to DegreeWorks. If you would like to preview how your new classes would apply to your DegreeWorks worksheet, you can use the ‘Look Ahead’ tab.
What does the “Not Counted” section at the end of my DegreeWorks mean?
‘Not Counted’ are courses that will not be applied to your record and will be subtracted from your total credit count. These courses may be duplicate courses (if there are duplicates, the program will automatically select the one taken first) or courses that exceed the maximum allowable transfer credit limit.
What does “Elective Classes Allowed” mean?
Students are allowed a different number of general electives depending on the amount of coursework completed, as well as the number of credits required by a student’s major, certificate or minor, to meet the total number of credits required for the Degree program. A student with an undeclared major will have a higher number of elective courses than a student who has declared a major or minor, and the elective classes allowed may change as majors are declared.
Does the “Electives Not Allowed” section mean that these credits are not being counted towards my degree?
‘Electives not allowed’ may count towards the degree and total credit count. However, any course that exceeds the number of credits for Elective Classes Allowed or do not apply to any requirement, will fall into this section. Students should pay attention to this area, since ‘In-Progress’ courses that appear in this section can affect financial aid eligibility ‘Electives not allowed’ are still counted towards the degree and total credit count.
Will I be graduated if everything is checked off?
You will need to apply for graduation through your CUNYfirst Student Services. After you have successfully applied, you will undergo a review conducted by the QC Hub and will be alerted if you have any issues. It is best to meet with an Academic Advisor and Departmental/Faculty Major advisor in the semester prior to applying for graduation.
Where can I find more information about DegreeWorks and staying on track for graduation?
You can find more information on CUNY’s site for DegreeWorks – Stay on Track for Graduation.
