At the end of the refund period (after the 4th week of the semester) the Registrar
performs academic certification of TAP (Tuition Assistance Program). Academic
eligibility takes into consideration enrollment status, academic pursuit and
progress standards and matriculation status.
The New York State Higher Education
Services Corporation (NYSHESC), which administers the TAP program, notifies
applicants of eligibility after certification
by the Registrar. The pre-certification notice provided by NYSHESC, is
an award estimate based solely upon information provided on the aid application:
it
is not a guaranteed award amount.
