Register for Intent to Graduate (GRD-OOO) in your final semester.
All students must take an Urban Study course to graduate.
Notes:
Physics: Students who plan to transfer to City Tech for Computer Engineering Technology should note they will be required to take General Physics I and II at City Tech. Students can consider taking SCP231 General Physics I at LaGuardia to fulfill the Life & Physical Sciences requirement. Contact the Program Director to request a substitution. You will need to first complete MAT201 Calculus if you wish to take SCP231.
Otherwise you are advised to take SCP101 Topics in Physics as the course is more relevant to the Computer Engineering Technology field.
Math: MAT200 is needed for Scientific World in Flexible Core, since it is the prerequisite of MAC101 and MAC291.
