Tuition Assistance for Full-Time Students

To qualify for tuition assistance from the two financial aid programs listed below, you must meet certain enrollment and academic requirements for each payment you receive.

New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

You must be a full-time student according to the TAP definition for full-time enrollment. This means that you must be enrolled for at least twelve credits or equated credits. In the first semester you receive TAP, you must be enrolled for at least three-degree credits as part of your full-time course load. After your first semester of receiving TAP, you must be enrolled for at least six-degree credits as part of your full-time course load.
All credits must be directly applicable to your current degree program in order to count as part of your minimum full-time course load for TAP purposes.
You must remain in good academic standing for New York State award programs by meeting academic progress and program pursuit requirements every semester you receive TAP (see the section “Academic Progress Standards” which follows on p. 8).
You are eligible for up to six semesters of TAP as an associate degree student. This limit holds even if you transfer from one 2-year school to another or change majors.
Note: If you repeat a course that you previously passed, you may not count the repeated course toward full-time enrollment for TAP purposes.
If you are a College Discovery student, you may be eligible for up to ten semesters of TAP as an undergraduate.

Part-time Status

To be considered a part-time student, you must enroll in fewer than twelve credits or equated credits/hours. Part-time tuition is calculated on a per credit basis except when remedial or developmental courses are taken. For remedial or developmental courses, contact hours rather than credits are used to calculate tuition.

Aid for Part-time Study (APTS)

To receive APTS, you must:

File an application by the established deadline and meet the basic eligibility requirements for the program.
Be enrolled in at least six but fewer than twelve credits or equated hours. At least three of these must be degree credits.
For winter and summer sessions, refer to the Academic Calendar for the refund schedule. Students who pay their tuition bill in full and remain in good academic standing for New York State award programs.
Not have used up eligibility for TAP.

Change of Program Fee Waiver

The change of program fee may be waived when:

The college cancels or withdraws a course, whether or not the student substitutes another course.
The College changes the hours of the course after the Schedule of Classes and the Addendum are posted or makes other substantive changes that provide the student justification for a change.
The College requests the student to transfer from one section to another section of the same course.
The College cancels the registration of the student for academic or disciplinary reasons.

Veterans

Tuition Deferrals—Students wishing to secure a veteran’s deferral must bring proof of eligibility and file an application for Veterans Administration benefits in the Registrar’s Office, Room S-315. The deferral does not apply to fees.

Benefits—Applications for Veterans Administration benefits must be made in the Registrar’s Office, Room S-315. Students eligible to receive V.A. educational assistance must file a certificate of eligibility with the Registrar’s Office at their initial registration and must inform that office of the V.A. standing each subsequent semester for which they wish to use their educational benefits.

Questions pertaining to eligibility to receive veterans educational entitlement should be referred to the New York Regional Office of the V.A., 245 W. Houston Street, New York, NY 10014.

Tuition Refund Policy

Students who find it necessary to drop classes must do so by the deadline dates.

Failure to attend class, giving notice to an instructor or stopping payment on a check is not considered an official withdrawal.

For the Fall and Spring semesters, tuition refunds will be made in accordance with the following schedule:

tuition	refund	obligation
Drop prior to the first day of class	100%	-0-
Drop during the first calendar week of classes	75%	25%
Drop during the second calendar week of classes	50%	50%
Drop during the third calendar week of classes	25%	75%
Drop after the third calendar week of classes	100%	-0-

For winter and summer sessions, refer to the Academic Calendar for the refund schedule. Students who pay their tuition bill in full and subsequently withdraw will have their refund calculated according to the above schedule. Refund checks are mailed directly to the home address on file in CUNYfirst. Students who are enrolled in direct deposit will have their refunds deposited electronically.

Students who made a partial payment on their bill will have their tuition liability calculated according to the above schedule. A reduction in tuition charges may not necessarily result in a refund and, in some instances, a tuition balance may still be due. Student activities fees, consolidated services fees and technology fees are not refundable.

Payments made by credit card to the payment plan vendor will be refunded to the credit card.

Note that the liability period starts the first day of the semester and applies to all students whether or not they had classes on that day.

Tuition will be refunded 100 percent for those courses which, at anytime, are cancelled by the College.

Course Cancellation Policy

Courses may be subject to cancellation for a number of reasons, such as under-enrollment. If you are in a class which has been cancelled, you will be notified by the Registrar’s Office by email. If you wish to replace the course, please log on to the online registration system to choose another course.

Students who must change their program due to canceled courses will not be charged a change of program fee.
