I believe the five things I’ve listed are things you should know when you first arrive to Kingsborough so you can be familiar with the school. All of these things are beneficial in guiding you through your future at Kingsborough. Academic advisement will guide you in the steps you need to graduate and classes you need to be taking. Become familiar with the departments in case you need to go to them to ask questions or get an over tally to get in the classes. Financial aid office can have you gain scholar, loans, grants, stipends ships and find out your status and can possibly help you gain work study. Career development can help you gain a job and put you on the track to do so. Registrar's Office is where you can go to Advanced standing evaluation of transfer credit , Certification of enrollment to outside agencies ,Change of address, curriculum, grades, matriculation status, session attended ,Exams ,Permit to attend other CUNY colleges ,Readmission ,Access to records ,Transcripts ,Withdrawal and Degree Audit. These are essential things you need to know when entering college.
