Seniors

Here is some useful info for your last year:

  • Check your degreeworks to make sure your major and Pathways requirements are listed as fulfilled. Macaulay requirements are being tracked by your advisor and will be reported to the Registrar after they are all completed. They won’t show as completed on your degreeworks. You should have gotten a link for a tracking sheet from your advisor.
  • Meet with your advisor in the fall and spring semesters to ensure that you are on track.
  • Enrollment Status Change Form: If you are graduating early or late, or taking less than 12 credits in a semester, you have to have approval from Macaulay. Send your letter to your advisor for their signature before uploading to the form.
  • Senior-Thesis-Declaration-Form (Please submit this form to your Macaulay advisor by the 3rd week of classes in the semester you are beginning your thesis/capstone.) Your department determines what will count as a thesis/capstone project, so don’t wait to speak with your departmental advisor! ***At the end of the semester you must send your advisor a copy of your thesis.
  • Students must have four honors courses listed on their transcript in order to graduate. Please follow up with your professor if the course you did honors work in is not listed as such in the comments section of your transcript.
  • Departmental Honors
    Departmental honors, which is different from making an individual course honors, is determined by your major department. Make sure to visit your major advisor to discuss this by your junior year. The department enters the departmental honors notation through the Registrar’s Exception Queue, so make sure to follow the department’s instructions for filing for honors.
  • You can apply for graduation on CUNYfirst when the link becomes available. The deadline for Fall graduation is Sept 15, and for Spring is February 1.
