TAP Waivers

TAP waivers are granted only once to students and only for extraordinary reasons which are beyond the control of the student. TAP waivers can only be considered for students who have maintained good academic standing for all but one semester and who fall short of either the published Pursuit or Progress standard for that one semester. (See the New York State standards for satisfactory academic progress above.)

Students who wish to be considered for a waiver must complete a Waiver Appeal Form, which can be obtained from the Academic Advising Office in Founders Hall. The Waiver Appeal Form must include a written statement outlining the reasons why they feel they are eligible for a waiver. After careful consideration, the Waiver Appeals Committee will render a decision and the student will be informed in writing. In addition, the information will be shared with the College Registrar and New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) can be properly notified.
