Accessing the Equivalent Course Feature
CUNY schools list courses differently. For example, College Algebra at QCC is listed as MA-119, but at John Jay the equivalent course is listed as MAT 105. Students may inquire what the equivalent course may be at an alternative CUNY by following the instructions below (this feature was formerly known as TIPPS). This allows CUNY and non-CUNY students/faculty/staff to view the benefits of TIPPS with an updated and integrated system.
Here is how you can access the course equivalent feature:
Make sure you are not signed into CUNY First. If you are, first open a new new window in a different browser.
-
Go to "Course Catalogue"
-
Select Queensborough CC from the Institution menu & click “change”
-
Choose your subject, followed by the specific course you want to take.
-
To the right, choose “fetch equivalent CUNY courses”
-
A list will appear if there are equivalent courses at a partner CUNY campus
- “View class sections” by clicking the green button to the right of the class.
The information listed includes days, times, professor, and the terms that the course will be offered.
