Students who change their degree objective or major field will be subject to the admission requirements of the new curriculum pertaining to the new major field, including core and preliminary requirements. Courses successfully completed under the student’s original program may be transferred to the new program only if they are applicable. However, prior credits and GPA are not carried over to the new degree objective or specialization. Academic deficiencies are carried over from one program to another (e.g., a student on probation under the original program remains on probation under the new program).
...
Students who interrupt their graduate studies for one or more semesters must file for re-entry using the following form: Re-entry form prior prior to the term in which they plan to return. The six-year time period for completion of the requirements for the master’s degree will be extended no more than two semesters for such nonattendance.
If the original six-year period and two additional semesters have expired, the student must apply to the appropriate graduate committee on academic standing for a time extension. In some instances, an extension of time may require a review of the student’s original program for currency of subject matter. Additional courses may be required to complete the degree.
...
Students who drop all courses during the refund period must file a re-entry application. If this occurs during the student’s first semester, the student will need to file a new application with the appropriate office of graduate admissions. International students need to obtain approval from the International Student Service Center prior to dropping any course.
Extension of Time Limit For Degree
...
A graduate student must file an Application for Graduation for their degree prior to their last semester in which all the requirements for the degree will be completed. This application can be filed at the Registrar’s Office or using the application within CUNYFirst (see Academic Calendar for deadlines). A student cannot be recommended for the degree at the close of the semester without having submitted an application.
An application for a degree will not be carried forward from one semester to the next. A new application must be filed for the term in which the degree is actually awarded.
...
Students who wish to take additional courses after meeting their original degree requirements must file a new application for admission to graduate school. Students who have completed an MBA degree and who wish to take additional courses should consider one of the MS programs, an MA, MPA, MSEd, MIA or the Post-Master’s Certificate Programor MIA degree. Students applying for a second degree must meet current admission requirements.
Grading System*
As part of The City University of New York’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the Fall 2020 semester, students shall have the option to convert some or all of the (B+ through F) letter grades they earn in their classes, to Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grading, per the provisions below.
1. During the Fall 2020 semester, all students enrolled in courses with the CR/NC policy shall have the option to convert some or all of the (B+ through F) letter grades they earn in these classes to Credit/No Credit grading.
2. Students will be able to make this decision for eligible courses between December 24, 2020 and January 12, 2021. Once selected, the CR/NC option cannot be reversed. Any changes to the dates of this opt-in window will be communicated in a timely fashion.
3. If a student chooses to exercise this option for an eligible course, a passing letter grade (B+ through D-) will convert to ‘CR’ with credit for the class being awarded, while a failing grade (F) will convert to ‘NC’, with no credit awarded. Credit/No Credit grades will not impact the student’s GPA.
4. Courses taken for a letter grade will continue to be included in the semester and general GPA, while courses taken for a Credit/No Credit grade will be excluded, just as is the case with such courses taken at a student’s home institution.
5. If a student exercises the option of Credit/No Credit, the Credit (CR) grade will not negatively impact the student’s progress toward degree completion.
6. Students with Credit/No Credit grades will be able to transfer those courses across colleges within CUNY, per current CUNY policy.
7. The Fall 2020 CR/NC Policy shall apply to coursework completed on Permit and will not affect Board of Trustees Policy 1.14 – Policy on Coursework Completed on Permit.
8. Students placed on academic probation by their institution at the start of the Fall 2020 semester who choose Credit/No Credit grades shall not be penalized with academic dismissal based upon their grades earned this semester.
9. The Fall 2020 CR/NC Policy shall not affect the University standards of student retention and progress in accordance with Board of Trustees Policy 1.26.
10. Before choosing this grading option for one or more of their classes, students shall consult with their academic and financial aid advisors regarding potential impact to their financial aid, licensure requirements, and graduate school admissions.
11. Except for courses explicitly excluded by a College from application, the policy shall supersede and override all undergraduate and graduate program-level grading policies currently in effect at CUNY colleges and schools, including those related to required and elective courses within the major, minor, general education (Pathways), pre-requisite courses, honors courses, courses taken on permit and maximum number of credits that a student can earn with Credit/No Credit grades.
12. The grade glossary, attached to each transcript, will be updated to include a notation denoting that all Fall 2020 grades, including CR or NC, were earned during a major disruption to instruction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

P | Passing. Valid grade for courses taken under the pass/no credit option. Grades of P are not calculated in the GPA, but credits earned are counted toward the degree. |
PEN | Grade pending (used when a grade is under review for possible infraction of academic integrity standards). |
Once filed, a grade can be changed only on the recommendation of the instructor. Such recommendation must have the approval of the department chairperson and the appropriate school dean. Once a grade has been submitted, students may not do extra work to improve that grade.No change of final grade for a completed course will be made without the approval of the instructor’s dean. Application for change of grade may be made at any time within one (1) year from the end of the semester in which the course was taken. Deans will consider the grade change upon the receipt of the instructor’s written explanation. Grades cannot be changed once a student's degree has been conferred. Extra work may not be submitted for a higher grade.
PASS/NO CREDIT OPTION (P/NC)
...
- To exercise the P/NC option, the student must register for the course in the usual manner and apply at the Registrar’s Office no later than the third week of the semester last day of classes (see Baruch College Academic Calendar).
- The grade of P or NC is not computed in the grade point average.
- If a grade of NC is received in a core or required course, the student must repeat the course. The course may be repeated only once and for a P/NC grade only.
- If a grade of NC is received in an elective course, the student may either repeat the course or select another course; in both cases, a conventional grade will be assigned.
- The P/NC option is applied by the Registrar’s Office; the instructor is not informed of the student’s decision.
- The P/NC option applies as follows to students in the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs: MPA, MIA, and MSEd in Higher Education Administration students may use the P/NC option for one elective course only. The option does not apply to the Capstone Seminar Courses (PAF 9190 and PAF 9390).

- The P/NC option applies as follows to students in the Zicklin School of Business: MBA students are not permitted to use the P/NC option for core, major, foundational, or functional skills courses, but they may use the option for one elective course. Students following the 57-credit MBA who use the P/NC option and then change their major or pursue a second major cannot apply a course previously graded P/NC toward their new major or petition to withdraw the option. Students cannot apply a P/NC to a graded course in accountancy or taxation used toward CPA requirements. MS students may not use the P/NC option.

The following illustration shows how a student who has attempted 27 credits should compute his/her grade point average on a 4.0 basis.
Grade | Value | Indexible Indexable Credits | Grade Points | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | = | 4.0 | X | 12 | 48.0 |
B+ | = | 3.3 | X | 6 | 19.8 |
B | = | 3.0 | X | 6 | 18.0 |
F* | = | 0.0 | X | 3 | 0.0 |
27 | 85.8 |
...
Divide the total grade points by the total indexible indexable credits to obtain the grade point average: 85.8/27 = 3.17 on 27 indexible creditsindexable credits.
