金融援助

学生 wish to receive funding from the 新 York State financial aid programs must maintain good academic standing.

• Good academic standing consists of Pursuit of Program (POP), which the 新 York State Education Department defines as receiving a passing or failing grade in a certain percentage of a full-time courseload. Passing grades are grades of D- or better. 不及格的分数是F." Grades of "W," "I," and "WI" are not passing or failing grades. The percentage increases for 每一个 year of attendance. See the TAP资格表s for details.
• The second element of good academic standing is Satisfactory 学术的进步 (SAP). SAP is the number of credits the student earned toward their certificate or degree at the end of 每一个 学期, and the cumulative grade point average. Transitional studies courses that students may be required to take do not count toward SAP requirements. See the TAP资格表s for details. There are 2 TAP charts, one for remedial and one for non-remedial students.

Students will be evaluated for POP and SAP at the end of 每一个 学期. 学生 fail to meet either POP or SAP standards will lose eligibility for 新 York state financial aid programs at 世纪挑战集团 for the next calendar year. 学生 have received the equivalent of six full-time 新 York State TAP awards will no longer be eligible for TAP at a community college. Program changes will not assist students in regaining eligibility for SAP and GPA requirements in the first 学期 of the new program.

C平均要求

学生, 在之前, have received the equivalent of two or more full years of state funded student financial aid payments (have accumulated 24 or more payment points 在之前) must have a cumulative "C" (2.0) GPA to be eligible for continued state financial aid. Students subject to the "C" average requirement must meet this in addition to POP and SAP requirements. State financial aid programs subject to this requirement include all general and academic performance awards.

Non-Credit Transitional Studies 课程: 学生 are required to take non-credit transitional studies courses must be aware of the following:

• Non-credit transitional studies courses do not count toward completion of SAP requirements.
• To meet the full-time or part-time requirements for 每一个 学期's attendance, students in non-credit transitional studies courses must include in their registration a minimum of 3 credit bearing hours the first 学期 and a minimum of 6 credit bearing hours in 每一个 following 学期s. The total number of 学期 hours (non-credit and credit) must be at least 12 or more for TAP, and 3 to 11 学期 hours for 援助 for Part-Time Study.

全日制招生

The NYS Education Department defines full-time status for TAP certification as a student who is enrolled and attending at least 12 credits that lead toward their degree or certificate (with the remedial combination noted above) in a 学期 that is at least 15 weeks in length.

重复的课程

When a student has earned a passing grade (D- or better) in a course, it generally cannot be included in the calculation of full or part-time status if the student takes the course again. For State financial aid purposes, courses cannot be repeated to raise the GPA or to get a better grasp of the subject matter. Four exceptions to this ruling are:

1. When a grade received is passing but is not acceptable in the degree or certificate program in which the student is matriculated. 例如, the student's program requires that the student get a C or better in ABC100 to be graduated, but the student earns a D in ABC100. The student could repeat ABC100 to earn a better grade. The program description in this 目录 & 学生手册 (项目 of Study) must stipulate this for the repeated course to be eligible for financial aid.

2. When a grade received is passing but is not acceptable for the student to move on to the next course in the sequence. 例如, ABC101 requires that a student get a C or better in ABC100 in order to take ABC101. The student gets a C- in ABC100 and, therefore, would not be able to take ABC101. Therefore, the student can repeat ABC100 to earn a better grade. The course description in this 目录 & 学生手册 (课程描述) must stipulate this for the repeated course to be eligible for financial aid.

3. When a student must take and pass a course and an associated course concurrently and a passing grade is received in 只有一个 of the courses. 例如, ABC200 requires that the student concurrently take ABC201. The student earns an A in ABC200 but an F in ABC201. The student must repeat both courses and pass both courses concurrently to receive credit toward the degree or certificate. The student can repeat both courses in order to receive credit toward the degree or certificate. The course descriptions in this 目录 & 学生手册 must stipulate this for the repeated courses to be eligible for financial aid.

4. When a course may be repeated and credit earned toward the degree or certificate 每一个 time it is taken. 例如, as with physical education courses.

Reinstatement of Eligibility for 新 York State 项目

学生 fail to achieve good academic standing for state programs have several options for reinstatement of eligibility.

• 第一个, the student may attempt to make up their academic deficiencies by taking courses without the benefit of 新 York State aid. If successful, the student could have their aid reinstated for a future 学期.
• Second, the student can sit out from school for at least one calendar year. Upon returning to school, the student could be eligible in their first term for state financial aid. 然而, if the student has already utilized the equivalent of four TAP payments, 24 paypoints and has less than a 2.0 GPA, sitting out one year will not reinstate eligibility.
• Third, the student can request a one time Waiver of Good Academic Standing for Pop and/or SAP.

Waiver of Good Academic Standing for POP and/or SAP

学生 fail to achieve good academic standing during a 学期 may apply for a waiver of good academic standing for the next 学期. For 新 York State programs, students may be granted 只有一个 waiver as an undergraduate student. Waiver applications and information are available in the 金融援助 Office. Waivers will be considered only for extraordinary circumstances. Extraordinary circumstances include the death of a parent, child or spouse; injury or severe illness of the student, 学生的配偶, parents or children; or other special circumstances. The student will have to provide proof of the circumstance and document that the situation is either under control or will not occur again.

Waiver of C平均要求 for 新 York State 项目: 学生 fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better at the end of a 学期 (beginning 24th paypoint) may apply for a waiver for the next 学期. Waivers will be considered as noted in the above section. Program changes will not assist students in making the C average requirement for the first 学期 in a new program.
