These requirements are based on the Degree Works programming used by College of Staten Island for determining
financial aid eligibility and graduation requirements. If there are any differences between what you
see here and the college bulletin, please let us know. In all cases, the college bulletin is the
definitive source of information about requirements.
This is still very much a work in progress, so please report any issues or feedback to us, we want to hear from you!
All colleges have a general residency requirement as well as a 'Major Residency' requirement. For example, if a major is 40 credits, most colleges will require that at least 20 of those credits are taken "in residence" AKA after you transfer.
Many programs may have a GPA requirement for a course to apply.
