TAP Waiver

The New York State Department of Education permits students to apply for a one-time waiver of New York State’s TAP academic progress and pursuit level requirements.

A waiver is not automatic and must be done in accordance with Monroe College criteria.

The College, at its discretion, may grant a waiver based on an evaluation of mitigating circumstances beyond the student’s control. Documentation of circumstances is required and the student’s ability to benefit from the waiver is a determining factor.

Requests for waivers must be initiated, by the student, at the appropriate Student Services office. The Office of Student Financial Services determines final approval.

Only one waiver per student is allowed.
