A new semester is coming up and
it's time to register for classes.
This short video will show you
how you can find your advisor,
ways to connect with them,
and some helpful information that
will prepare you for registration.
First, let's talk about DegreeWorks.
DegreeWorks is a user-friendly advising tool that
helps students and advisors track degree progress.
It is what you will see when you run
a degree evaluation in MyCayuga.
In order to access DegreeWorks,
you must first log into MyCayuga by clicking
the MyCayuga link at the top of the Cayuga homepage.
Next, you will click the login to
MyCayuga button and you'll use
your Cayuga username and password.
If you need assistance with logging in
or retrieving a lost or unknown password,
please contact the help desk at the number shown here.
Next, you will select the Student Services tab.
Go to Student Records,
and click on the degree evaluation link.
A new window will open up with
your DegreeWorks degree evaluation.
The blue arrow shown here will
indicate where you find your advisor's name.
If you click on their name,
an email will open up that is
addressed to them and you will be
able to email them directly
to set up an appointment for advisement.
Although we would love to have everyone back on campus,
we are encouraging virtual or phone appointments.
Here are some ways to connect with your advisor.
Phone, email, or ConexEd.
ConexEd is an online platform
for virtual students services and learning.
Students connect here to engage with educators,
support staff, and other students.
If you want to prepare for your advising appointment,
by looking at what courses will be
offered for the upcoming semester.
Go to our homepage,
scroll down until you see course schedule.
Select the semester for which you're looking to register
for and you will see
the full list of courses for that semester.
Before registering for any courses,
be sure to connect with your advisor and double-check
your DegreeWorks degree evaluation to be sure that
the courses you are registering
for will be covered by financial aid.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact
the Student Engagement office
or drop into our virtual ConexEd lobby,
which is listed on our website.
