Additional Requirement to Maintain State Financial Aid Eligibility
* These standards apply only to students who received their TAP award in September 1981 or later. Students who received their first TAP award prior to September 1981 can be advised of applicable standards by the Office of Academic Advisement.
For example, a transfer student who has received three TAP payments and earned 10 credits would be placed at (payment) semester two, rather than (payment) semester three.
For example, for a program requiring 30 credits, a student could not attempt more than 45 credits to complete the degree
Loss and Reinstatement of Student Eligibility Students who fail to maintain good academic standing, either through failure in Pursuit of Program or in making Satisfactory Academic Progress, become ineligible for further awards. Eligibility may be regained (and payments restored) by either of the following methods:
- Achieving the required GPA and/or number of credits during a semester of attendance in which no state award is paid.
- Transferring to another institution.
- Being readmitted to SUNY Brockport after an absence of one calendar year or more. (Acceptance at Brockport or another institution is deemed evidence of a student’s ability to complete successfully an approved program.)
- Waiver of eligibility.
When such a waiver has been granted for failure to make Satisfactory Academic Progress, the student is expected to use the semester to advance to the level the student could not achieve without the waiver. The waiver , fails to make Satisfactory Academic Progress, or fails by both standards. However, Pursuit of Program and Satisfactory Academic Progress may not be waived separately for different semesters.
Students are eligible for only one waiver as an undergraduate student (not one for each institution attended), and one waiver as a graduate student. However, the granting of such a waiver is not automatic; it is intended only to accommodate extraordinary or unusual situations. The waiver process must include an assessment of the reasons for a student’s failure to meet the established requirements for good standing, and the decision to grant the waiver must be based upon a reasonable expectation that the student will meet future requirements.
Notification of Ineligibility for State Financial Awards Since payment of state awards is made through the Bursar’s Office, students who fail to maintain good academic standing, and therefore are ineligible for a state award, will be notified by the Bursar’s Office. Students affected are encouraged to discuss their status with a member of the Academic Advisement staff or with the TAP Certifying Officer located in the Bursar’s Office.

In other words, the student would have to be registered for 12 or more different credits in order to be considered as a full-time student. In addition, the repeated course may not be considered in determining whether the student has met the Pursuit of Program requirement and is in good academic standing.
FEDERAL ACADEMIC STANDARDS FOR TITLE IV RECIPIENTS
Students are advised that continued eligibility for federal financial aid awards requires that students maintain Federal Good Academic Standing. Award programs applicable to graduate students and affected by the federal standards include:
Federal law requires that satisfactory academic progress standards be measured in both quantitative (i.e., time frame for program completion) and qualitative terms (i.e., academic performance).
Maximum Time Frame Standard Students receiving funds under Title IV must complete their degrees within 150 percent of the published program length as measured in credits or forfeit federal aid eligibility.
