Step 1
Locate a degree checklist from your department or the City Tech Catalog.

Step 3
Use the Academic Advising web pages to find General Education Common Core, Writing Intensive Courses, Interdisciplinary Courses, and other degree requirements.
Step 4
Download the Academic Career Planner and save it to your own device.
Step 5
Fill in My Academic Career Planner with the courses “still needed.”
Step 6
Make an appointment with a faculty advisor. Have a completed Academic Career Planner and a current degree audit ready to refer to. Talk with your academic advisor and bring your questions!

Hi–
If advisement is being done remotely, chances are strong it will be done via the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra application. If that’s the case, it’s advisable to use the
CHROME browser to allow for easy access to Degree works.
The reason that many are opting for Collaborate rather than other video conferencing is that the platform is secure with sensitive data and specific to the person who’s registered to use that particular advisement site.
