Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
TAP awards cannot be used as a deferment for summer sessions. TAP awards for summer are reimbursed at a later date for all qualified applicants. To be eligible to receive TAP in the summer a student is now required to have completed 24 credits in the previous two semesters.

Federal Pell Grant
Pell grants are available in the summer for those undergraduate students who qualify and have not exhausted their annual eligibility (two full-time semesters or its equivalent). August or December graduates may be eligible to receive a Federal Pell by submitting the 2007-2008 FAFSA. However, if they do not graduate as planned then they may have reduced or no eligibility for the spring 2008 semester. Pell recipients must be matriculated and can receive grants even for less than half-time study. Pell funds can be used as a deferment against tuition and fees but disbursement of funds begins in the latter part of August.

Federal Workstudy
Due to funding cuts the workstudy program is not being run during the summer 2008. Students interested in securing summer employment should consult with the Career Development Center in GC 306.

Present supervision teacher waiver certificates along with payment of fees by the deadline. If the certificate is transferred, be sure all information on the back of the certificate is completed and signed by the district administrator.

Course Cancellation Policy


Due to the unique funding arrangements mandated by the State of New York, the availability of summer session courses is dependent upon a minimum number of paid registrations. If a course must be canceled due to insufficient enrollment, affected students will be notified by mail. They will be given an opportunity to register for another section of the course or a similar course.
