Qualifications for TAP
Students qualify for their TAP award each semester by enrolling as a full-time matriculated student and must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits that are going toward their program of study at the College. In addition, students must declare their major before or at the start (please check financial aid deadlines posted at http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/undergraduate-financial-aid) of their junior year/60credits. Please use DegreeWorks to monitor these requirements.
The academic guidelines are divided into two areas: Program Pursuit and Rate of Progress. Students must follow both sets of rules in order to receive a TAP award each semester. A waiver from these requirements exists to provide qualified students experiencing temporary difficulty in maintaining eligibility with an opportunity to have uninterrupted participation in the state programs. Good academic standing requirements may be waived once.
