1. Look up the specific program criteria in your program (civil, or mechanical engineering technology) in the appropriate catalog. Develop a draft schedule showing the classes you plan to take each semester. Check:  Prerequisites  Course availability (only offered in the spring or fall?)  Course load  General education requirements 2. Choose another major that you think would be interesting and develop a draft schedule if you should change majors. List the courses you have taken (or are currently taking) that would count towards the new major and which would not count. 19

3) Using the SUNYIT undergraduate catalog answer the following questions: ◦ What is the test-out policy used for? ◦ What is Advanced Placement credit? ◦ What is the difference between a dual baccalaureate degree and a second major? ◦ What is the “writing requirement” and which courses fulfill the requirement? ◦ What is the minimum upper division credit requirement? 20
