Enrollment Status

Enrollment is based on contributory courses towards your program of study/degree. If any course(s) are flagged as elective classes not allowed on DegreeWorks, the courses will have an “N” on the “Eligible for State Aid” column on the FACTS Transcript. As a result, these courses will not count toward your full-time enrollment for TAP. To resolve these issues, you must go to your DegreeWorks Liaison within your division. See attached list: www.ccny.cuny.edu/financialaid/list-liaison

In order to maintain eligibility for TAP, you must maintain the appropriate GPA for each payment.
