CAPP Degree Evaluation
CAPP (Curriculum, Advising and Program Planning) Degree Evaluation is a tool that both students and academic advisors use to review the academic progress of a student in their major or any other major that is offered by York College. It shows students how the courses they have registered for and completed will apply to the curriculum requirements for their major and then displays what other courses are needed to complete their degree. This system was installed in the Fall 2003 semester and is active for all matriculated students. CAPP can be accessed through myYCP and the YCPWeb.The CAPP Degree Evaluation includes a function that allows matriculated students to create a What-If Analysis if they are currently an Undeclared major and considering a particular curriculum or if they are considering changing from one major to another.
Students should run a CAPP Degree Evaluation each semester before they register for classes offered in the next semester. It is helpful to take a copy of the CAPP Degree Evaluation with you when meeting with your Academic Advisor.
The CAPP Degree Evaluation is also used by the Academic Departments and the Records Office in certifying students to graduate from York College.
A student’s CAPP is divided into the various areas of the major such as the core curriculum courses, the ADR’s (Area Distribution Requirements), the major requirements, free electives and all other unique major requirements. These requirements can also be viewed in the College catalog and on the major worksheets.
Sometimes an Academic Advisor can substitute, target or waive courses for a student on their CAPP Degree Evaluation. A Substitution, Target and Waiver Form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing. The Academic Advisor and the Department Chair must also sign this form as approval of the change before it is processed.
