How to read a CAPP report

Be sure to read the top section – Credit Summary. This summarizes all your requirements in terms of credits and GPA. The left side will list both required and actual columns. Please note the “Actual” listings include current registered semester credits EXCEPT for the Total Earned Hours. Liberal Arts and Upper Division columns include hours for which you are currently registered, but these are not added into the Total hours and are not figured into your GPA. To figure your total credit hours, you will need to add the actual and “In-Progress” credit hours together. The required column on the left lists the MINIMUM requirements needed to graduate.

For additional information on graduation requirements, go to http://www.oswego.edu/administration/registrar/policy_text.html/#rfg

For students receiving BA degrees, pay close attention to the TOTAL HOURS IN DISCIPLINE. You are not allowed more than 54 credit hours in your major – and any appropriate transfer credit is part of the 54, BUT it is not included in the total on your CAPP report. You need to add in any transfer credits you may have in your major to the total showing on your CAPP report.

In addition to your total GPA, please take note of your major(s) and minor(s) GPA. Students in the School of Education must graduate with at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA. ALL OTHER STUDENTS must graduate with at least a 2.0 in all major(s) and minor(s). Depending on your major, your department may require an even higher GPA, especially for student teaching and/or internships. For information on catalog curricular requirements, go to http://www.oswego.edu/administration/registrar/policy_text.html#ccr. For specific department and/or program requirements, please refer to the department webpage.

When reading through the CAPP report, pay close attention to any N’s on the report. If they are anywhere on your CAPP report, this means you may have not met a requirement. The report does not pick up all transfer credit, so a requirement may have been fulfilled by a class you took elsewhere. Also, the CAPP report will not pick up a class you are currently repeating for a higher grade. Be aware that any courses you are repeating for a higher grade may affect your Total credits, and/or Upper Division hours, etc… , as well as your GPA. Also, please note, especially for students in majors where several classes may meet elective requirements (i.e. – take 4 Upper Division classes) – not all electives will automatically fill in. Please check the end of the CAPP report under “Other Courses” for extra classes that may fulfill this category. You also may have transfer credit that would not automatically fill in for this category.

**IMPORTANT NOTICE** - For all students in Gen Ed 2000 and majors that require a Foreign Language (Education, etc…) If you are using the Foreign Language you took in High School to fulfill this requirement, please verify that the Registrar’s Office has your OFFICIAL High School transcript on file showing four years of foreign language with a Regents. If you are using High School foreign language to fulfill this requiremnt it will not show on your CAPP.

Please note – if you make changes to your registration after viewing your CAPP report, they will not show up unless you generate a new CAPP report.

ALL GRADUATING STUDENTS – PLEASE NOTE!!! Viewing your own CAPP report is not sufficient for meeting your graduation requirements. All graduating students must meet with their advisor for all major(s) and minor(s) prior to graduating to go over your Senior Check List to ensure you have met all graduation requirements! As always, the final determination will be made by the Registrar’s Office of having met graduation requirements.
