TAP WAIVER
Regulations of the New York State Commissioner of Education permit students to
receive a one-time waiver of New York State’s TAP academic progress
and pursuit level requirements as an undergraduate. A waiver
is not automatic and must be done in accordance with the insti-tution’s
criteria.
The waiver is issued by the institution if there were extenuating circumstances, out of the student’s control, which caused the academic
progress concern. The student’s ability to benefit from a waiver
will also be considered prior to its being approved.
NYSHESC maintains a record of all waivers granted. Waivers must be initiated
and approved by the Office of Student Services for day and evening
students or by the Bachelor’s Division for BBA students. They
must also be approved in the Financial Aid Office.
AID FOR PART-TIME STUDY (APTS)
This program is for part-time undergraduate study. For the purpose of this
program, part-time study means being enrolled for at least
6 but not less than 12-credits per semester. Recipients will
be selected from those that apply and who would otherwise
be eligible for TAP. The award is contingent on student need
as well as the availability of funds. An award cannot exceed tuition charges. The maximum award for
the semester is $1,000 and $2,000 for the academic year. The
college reserves the right to deny awards to students who
have not completed all their course work for the prior semester. For more information, please
contact the Financial Aid Office.

Scholarships are available to students who are first-time freshmen, continuing
associate and bachelor’s students and bachelor’s students transferring
from other post-sec-ondary institutions. Students may only receive one type of scholarship. Freshmen Scholarships and Baccalaureate Scholarships are competitive with a
finite number awarded each semester or academic year. The award range provides the Scholarship Committee with the ability to offer an award based on the
overall strength of the student’s application. Freshmen Scholarships
may be carried through to the conclusion of the Bachelor’s degree
as long as the student maintains continuous full-time enrollment
and required academic standards.
