These requirements are the minimum standards of the State Education Department. Students who do not meet SUNY Cobleskill's definition of Good Academic Standing will not be eligible for Tap, etc.
REPEATED COURSES: Repeated courses for which a student has already received a passing grade cannot be counted as part of the full-time certification for TAP purposes. For example, a student enrolled for 12 credits hours will not be eligible for TAP if the student has previously completed one of these courses with a passing grade.
