FAQ
What is a “Worksheet”?
A worksheet is your DegreeWorks degree audit. It shows your completed courses, degree requirements, and the requirements you still need to complete.
How do I know what classes I need to take?
Your DegreeWorks audit shows the courses and requirements you still need to complete for your degree, major, minor, and/or concentration. Use your audit to help plan your courses and discuss your academic plan with your adviser.
Can I register for classes in DegreeWorks?
No. DegreeWorks helps you see your degree progress and plan your courses.
When you’re ready to register, add, or drop a class, use CUNYfirst/Schedule Builder.
How current is the information in DegreeWorks?
DegreeWorks is updated nightly. If a change was recently made to your record in CUNYfirst, allow two to three business days for it to appear in DegreeWorks.
Why don’t I see my changes in DegreeWorks?
If you recently made a change, don’t worry. It may take some time to appear in DegreeWorks. This can happen if:
- Your student record was recently updated.
- A request, such as a change of major, is still being processed.
- A course substitution or waiver is still being reviewed or processed.
What should I do if my DegreeWorks information is incorrect?
If something in DegreeWorks doesn’t look right, submit a DegreeWorks Request Form for assistance.
Can I see my grades in DegreeWorks?
Yes. Your grades appear in DegreeWorks, but final grades may take some time to show after the semester ends.
For your official grades, check your academic transcript in CUNYfirst.
What’s the difference between DegreeWorks and transcripts?
DegreeWorks helps you track your progress toward completing your degree.
Your transcript is your official academic record and shows your courses and grades.
What does the @ symbol mean in DegreeWorks?

For example:
- HIST @ = Any History course
- @ 2000:2999 = Any 2000-level course
- @ = Any subject and any course number
When should I check DegreeWorks?
