A+ Program

A+ Program
The A+ program main goal is to assure that all students, when they graduate, are well-prepared to pursue advanced education, employment or both.

What Does A+ Cover?
Tuition
Fees common to all students

As of Fall 2011:
Students must enroll as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours in the fall or spring) and successfully complete all coursework paid by A+.

• A+ will not pay for repeated coursework

• A+ will not pay for dropped or incomplete coursework.

This means that the number of credit hours dropped in a term will be deducted from a student’s eligibility for the next term of enrollment.  Students will be responsible for any costs not funded by the A+ program.

Example: A student enrolls in 12 hours, drops 3, and completes a total of 9.  A+ will pay for 12 hours but will deduct 3 hours from eligibility for the next term of enrollment.  In the next term of enrollment, the student enrolls in 12 hours to meet the full time requirement.  A+ will pay for 9 hours and the student is responsible for the cost of 3 hours.

• A+ will no longer cover the $35 cost of the graduation fee.

• A+ will pay for a student to be less than full time only if:

• The student has a documented disability and has an ADA letter on file with the A+ Office from the Office of Disability Services Coordinator

• The student plans to graduate at the end of the semester, has applied for graduation with the Record’s office, and has notified the A+ Coordinator.
