IMPORTANT TERMS TO KNOW Pathways – The CUNY-wide curriculum which took effect in the Fall of 2013. All students who entered a CUNY school in the Fall of 2013 or later automatically follow the Pathways curriculum. The Pathways curriculum has three main components: The Required Core, The Flexible Core and The College Option. Degree. Works Audit – Accessed through CUNY Portal; an online student audit that allows students to view their progress towards a degree. Major – A student’s chosen field of study, typically 24 -30 credits. Major Specialization Form - All Weissman and School of Public Affairs students are required to have all of the courses counting towards their major approved by the Department’s faculty advisor. The faculty advisor completes, signs, and submits the Specialization Form to the Registrar’s Office for graduation audits. Minor – A grouping of three courses, complementing a student’s chosen Major. Minor Capstone - A minor at Baruch consists of three courses, two of which must be at the 3000 level or higher, followed by a 4000 level course, called the Capstone course. Electives – Courses which are not counted towards general education requirements, majors or minors are considered ‘electives’. At Baruch we differentiate elective credits between liberal arts electives and nonliberal arts electives. Transferred courses numbered 7000 or 7050 are counted as elective courses. Enrollment Appointment - A registration appointment day and time; the first moment (but not the last) that a student is permitted to enroll (register) in classes for a given term on CUNYfirst. This is not a live/inperson appointment. ZK/ZUPS – An old acronym for “Zicklin Course Permission”, now permission has been built into CUNYfirst for eligible students. 5

PATHWAYS DESIGNATIONS & WAIVERS Once a student has met a Common Core requirement at one CUNY college, that requirement will be met at any other CUNY college. Your previous CUNY school designates the course towards a specific requirement by assigning a “Requirement Designation” on your Transfer Credit Report. Non-CUNY transfer students have their “Requirement Designation” determined at Baruch by the Transfer Center. Students who transfer to Baruch with an Associate’s of Arts (AA) or Associate’s of Science (AS) degree will satisfy both the Required Core and Flexible Core of the Pathways curriculum. Students who transfer to Baruch with an Associates of Applied Arts (AAS) degree may still need to satisfy areas of the Required and Flexible Core. AAS students must review their “Requirement Designations” for each requirement. Students who have already earned a Bachelor’s Degree (2 nd degree students) are waived from the Required Core, Flexible Core and College Option requirements. 6

v IMPORTANT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Previous grades do not transfer to Baruch. However, they are reviewed to determine Zicklin eligibility. v Courses completed at your previous school (credits received) may not be repeated at Baruch. v Check/comply with course prerequisites/co-requisites, otherwise you risk being dropped from course(s). v The WU grade is equivalent to an “F”. Click here to view the Academic Bulletin: Letter Grades and Grade Point Equivalents. v Baruch has a 3 X Repeat Policy restricting students to a maximum of 3 attempts (including W, WN, WU, WF, FIN, and F grades) per course. v F Replacement Policy – You can replace up to 16 credits of F’s or F equivalents if you take the same exact course and earn a C (2. 0) grade or better. v You must earn a 2. 0 Baruch GPA in order to be in “Good Academic Standing”. Falling below a 2. 0 GPA will put your financial aid at risk. Click here to view the Academic Bulletin: Scholastic Performance Requirements. v Students who receive New York State financial aid (TAP) must be aware that TAP will not pay for courses which are not required for your degree. Click here for more information: http: //www. baruch. cuny. edu/financialaid/tap_requirements. htm Requirements are subject to change. Read your Baruch webmail, College Bulletin, Academic Calendar, and other College literature. 17

IMPORTANT NOTES FROM THE OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR Reminders about Dropping Courses & Waitlists ~Beware of enrollment fees~ Dropping courses: If you no longer plan on attending Baruch, you are responsible for dropping all of your courses (see CUNYfirst for directions). Failure to officially drop your classes will result in assessed enrollment fees (i. e. , tuition) for which you are responsible for, as well as any failing grades on your transcript. � Waitlists: When waitlists are processed and a seat is available, the next eligible student on the waitlist who has completed all the prerequisites is automatically enrolled without notification. Students need to remove their names from waitlists if they do not want to take the class. Students can remove themselves from waitlists using the standard "DROP" enrollment feature. Students need to continually check their CUNYfirst schedule to see if auto-enrollment in a waitlisted course has occurred. Since waitlists are processed up until the end of the registration period, students may get a seat last-minute and bear financial consequences. � 18
