Other Lessons Learned

Course Imports

• NYS rule: The New York State Department of Education prohibits counting any undergraduate course—from any institution—toward a graduate degree awarded by a NYS university.
• Enforcement risk: NYS auditors can retroactively invalidate awarded degrees if they find undergraduate credits applied toward a graduate program.
• Columbia process: To avoid jeopardizing a student’s PhD, Student Services must verify all transfer/imported courses are graduate-level.
• Algorithms exception: The Algorithms prereq may be an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course; NYS regulations do not govern prerequisites, only degree credit.
• Faculty policy: CS faculty created the prereq rule to prevent substituting lower-level courses (e.g., sophomore data structures) for the intended senior-level algorithms course, not because of NYS regulations.
