The Engineering Science programs include four degrees: Civil, Electrical, Earth System Science & Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering. Each yields an Associate in Science (AS) degree, and has been designed for transfer as a Dual/ Joint program with the School of Engineering at City College of New York (CCNY). In addition, there are two Energy Technician pathways which culminate in an AAS degree for either the Electrical or Mechanical option.
Official transcripts are sent directly to other colleges and employers. It is the policy of LaGuardia Community College NOT to issue official copies of transcripts directly to students. No official transcripts will be sent to a student’s home address. Only a student copy of the transcript may be sent. Official and student copies may be ordered online. LaGuardia Community College has retained Credentials Inc. to accept transcript orders over the Internet. If you do not have access to the Internet, call Credentials Inc. at 847-716-3005.

The regular transcript fee charged by LaGuardia is $7.00 per transcript. There is an additional fee of $2.00 for use of the online service resulting in a total cost per transcript of $9.00.

You may access “DegreeWorks”, 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 click of a tab (the ‘What If’ feature), you will also be able to see how your academic requirements might change if you were to change your major.
Please refer to the following self-service guide
In addition, if you are experiencing financial hardship, you may qualify for Emergency Financial Aid. See the following link
If you are transferring from LaGuardia Community College to another institution, you may contact the other institution to determine if your transcripts have been received. In addition, Transfer Services may assist you through the transfer process: Click Here
Changing your major may impact your degree requirements, financial aid and the length of time to complete your degree. Consult with your academic advisor prior to submitting this form to explore all your options and ensure that you choose a major that best matches your transfer and career goals. To change your major, you must fill out a change of major form with the Registrar Office. Click here to access the form
See above.
Consult with your academic advisor to determine your options.
If you lack the necessary prerequisites for a course or transferable credits for courses that are similar to the prerequisites, you will not be permitted to take the course.
Usually, there is a day you need to drop to receive 100% tuition early in the semester, and a second date you must drop by in order to receive a 50% refund. This semester (Fall I 2020), the last day of the semester is the drop date.
This option was specifically for the Spring I 2020 semester in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are very few courses across the college that provide the C/NC option for semesters other than Spring I 2020.
Yes. However, you should ask your Academic Advisor about repeating courses and the related rules.
This hold prevents you from registering and/or making any changes to your class schedule without first meeting with your assigned academic advisor. This encourages you to meet with your academic advisor prior to adding, dropping, withdrawing or registering for courses.
You will not be able to register, and the information should be shown in DegreeWorks. You may also check with the Registrar’s Office:

Immediately!
Again, visiting DegreeWorks and regularly meeting with your Academic Advisor will ensure that you’re on the right track to completion.
Meet with your advisor to find out if the credits are transferrable.
This may relate to the above question. Speak with your advisor, who may suggest that you discuss your issue with the director of the particular academic program.
You may apply for readmission/reinstatement via the Office of the Registrar. There is a $20 processing fee for the application
There are times when circumstances in life affect your academic progress. Perhaps there have been changes in health for you or a family member or a change in a work schedule, or other events that have directly impacted on your attendance or grades. When those situations arise, the Academic Appeals Process is in place for you. It gives you the chance to request that an exception be made to an academic policy or procedure at LaGuardia.
You may file an appeal to ask the Academic Appeals committee to approve the following changes:
When is the Deadline to file an Academic Appeal?
The Deadline to submit an appeal is ONE semester after you received the grade you are appealing. Example: If you are appealing a grade from the Spring 2020 semester, your deadline would be the end of the Fall 2020 semester. However, if you have not been in attendance since the grade you are appealing was posted, you may appeal the grade during the semester of your return. Example: If you are appealing a grade from the Spring 2019 semester, take a leave, and return in Spring 2021, you may proceed with the appeal.
