decide how credits are evaluated. Often, courses only transfer as
general electives – not as courses fulfilling distribution or major
requirements. There are three main ways for students to guard
against losing credits in this manner. First, complete your degree.
Credits transfer more readily when they are part of a degree. Second,
consult early with the Office of Transfer Services. For example, they
can advise each student whether there is an articulation agreement
between LaGuardia and another college that helps students preserve
their credits during transfer. Third, consult TIPPS – the Transfer
Information & Program Planning System. Through this online
resource, students can quickly check how each LaGuardia course
transfers to other colleges within CUNY.

Suspension
Students who have been suspended are not eligible to register for
courses at the college for one semester. They may appeal the sus-
pension in writing to the chairperson of the Academic Standing
Committee. Appeal forms are available in the Counseling Office
(C-239) or in the Enrollment Services Center (C-107). If the
appeal is approved, students will be expected to show substantial
improvement in academic performance. Normally this will

GRADUATION RATES
Graduation rates at LaGuardia compare favorably with those for
other CUNY community colleges. While most students require
more than two years to complete an Associate's degree, studies
have shown that approximately 20% of entering students achieve
their degree in five years or less. An important factor to consider
in addition to the graduation rates is the number of students who
attend part-time and therefore require additional time to com-
plete their studies.
LaGuardia graduates average about seven and a half semesters,
or just under four years, to obtain their degrees. However, for
about two semesters of that time, students are not actively
taking classes. For the past five graduating classes, the average
number of semesters spent earning credits was 6.4, or just over
three years. The rate of graduates who transfer to four-year col-
