IMPORTANT NOTES:
- To view and confirm your current program, you may go to your transcript in BannerWeb and/or view your DegreeWorks degree audit.
- If you have not already done so, you should make an appointment to meet with an advisor to plan your program of study.
- The Registrar's Office uses the Degree Works audit to clear students for their degree. We strongly advise students to review their audit regularly for accuracy.
- Students should apply for their degree in the semester BEFORE they complete their degree requirements. The graduation application is an online form that is located on the Registrar's "Forms" page.
- The graduation application is available online: https://webapp.sunypoly.edu/forms/graduation-application/
- Degree Works is not updating correctly with your new program information. I have made a manual notation of this. Correct Program of Study information is on your transcript.
- The address information submitted on the form does not match our records, Please update your address(es).
- The Address Change form is available online (https://webapp.sunypoly.edu/forms/registrar-change-of-name-address-telephone/) or in the Registrar's Office. If changing your permanent address, please be sure to submit the proof of address as listed on the form.
- The concentrations in the Interactive Media and Game Design major are not coded separately in Banner.
- This particular program requires students to pursue their undergraduate degree first, except where the courses overlap. While enrolled as an undergraduate student, you may take up to four (4) courses at the graduate level to fulfill both undergraduate and graduate program requirements. Each semester in which graduate coursework is taken, an academic petition must be completed indicating how the coursework will be used to meet the BS and MS program requirements. Upon completion of the undergraduate degree program, you will need to apply to graduate with the Bachelor's degree and contact the Graduate Center to inquire about the abbreviated application for the graduate program.
- BS/MS in Computer Science: This particular program requires students to pursue their undergraduate degree first, except where the courses overlap. Students in the joint program may apply up to twelve credits of graduate coursework to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously. Each semester in which graduate coursework is taken, an academic petition must be completed indicating how the coursework will be used to meet the BS and MS program requirements. The term prior to completion of the undergraduate degree program, you will need to apply to graduate with the Bachelor's degree and contact the Graduate Center to inquire about the abbreviated application for the graduate program. See the BS/MS Program Information in the catalog for more information.
- BS/MS in CID/IDT: Students in the joint program may apply up to six credits of graduate coursework to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously. The double-counted coursework will be chosen from the Core and Elective Courses in the graduate program and applied to the undergraduate track electives.
- BS/MS in Nursing: The RN to BS/MS student will receive both BS and MS degrees upon completion of all degree requirements for both degree programs. This means there will be no BS degree conferred after the first year of study. When the student is ready to officially transition to the graduate program, they should contact Graduate Admissions. The semester BEFORE all requirements are complete for both programs, the student must submit TWO graduation applications (one for the BS, one for the MS) and pay two diploma cover fees. You will also have to submit an Academic Petition to indicate which four 500-level courses should be double-counted for both degrees.
- When you apply to graduate from your Bachelor degree program, you should contact the Graduate Center to apply for official admission to the graduate program.
- When you are ready to take a graduate-level course, the form is available online on the Registrar's Web page. Look for the Petition for Graduate Courses, and make sure that you select the option to take the course for Graduate Credit. Once you have completed the course, you may submit an Academic Petition to apply the course to both your undergraduate and graduate degree record.
- DUAL BACCALAUREATE DEGREES: In addition to satisfying all course and credit requirements for each major, earning dual Baccalaureate degrees requires the student to complete (at minimum) an additional 30 credit hours in residence at SUNY Polytechnic Institute beyond the requirements for the first degree for each additional degree earned.
