Undergraduate Program Pursuit

In addition to meeting the criteria outlined in the Academic Progress Chart, the State Education Department regulations require students who receive New York State awards to complete a minimum number of credits toward the degree each semester as follows:

In each semester of the first year of New York State awards, students must complete a minimum of 6 credits of course work with grades of A,B, C, D, F, P, or I.

In each semester of the second year of New York State awards, students must complete a minimum of 9 credits of course work with grades of A,B, C, D, F, P, or I.

In each semester of the third and fourth years of New York State awards, students must complete a minimum of 12 credits of course work with grades of A,B, C, D, F, P, or I.

Grades of 'I' must be made up within one semester to have credits counted.

Students who do not complete the minimum number of credits in a given semester are ineligible for New York State financial aid in the following term or until additional credits are completed to reach the minimum level.

Only courses that count toward a student's degree can be used for meeting the Program Pursuit requirement.
