Exceptions to Full-Time Enrollment Requirement for Scholarship Policy

Policy Statement

Institutional scholarships are awarded for full-time enrollment with the exception of awards given by University Admissions for part-time status. Exceptions to this policy will be made for students with documented/qualifying disabilities that preclude full-time attendance as determined by the Student Access Office.

Reason for Policy

Unlike part-time status, a reduced course load will allow a qualifying student to register for a course load that is less than full-time, and still receive a pro-rated Adelphi scholarship and/or grant.

Exceptions to Full-Time Enrollment Requirement for Scholarship

根据残疾证明要求减少课程负担的学生必须联系学生准入办公室，提交合理住宿申请表格，并提供支持该请求的文件。该申请必须在学生申请住宿的每个学期提出。申请表格和文件指引可直接从学生通达办公室或通过其部门网站获得。学生入学办公室将根据个别情况审查住宿申请。请注意，所有有关准入和住宿的决定都是根据《美国残疾人法案》和《康复法案》第504条做出的。

Students who are approved for the accommodation of reduced course load will receive an institutional award that will be prorated for less than full-time enrollment consistent with existing scholarship proration procedures which are used during a student’s final semester of study. A percentage is calculated using enrolled credits between 6-11 credits and an assumption of 15 credits which is applied to the current award amount. Federal, State government and other assistance will be awarded under the regulations and guidelines governing the specific award type.

The Office of Student Access will notify a designated individual(s) in the Office of Student Financial Services of their determination, and if approved, the approval letter indicating the specific accommodation of reduced course load will be kept in the student’s file.

Procedures

Procedures for this policy can also be found in the Student Access Office. Related to the “Reduced Course Load Policy.” Petition for Accommodations Process:

1. Students seeking the accommodation of a reduced course load must have complied with the accommodation review and approval procedure of the Student Access Office. Students must complete and file a Petition for Accommodations form with the Student Access Office and provide documentation from a licensed professional that supports the accommodation of a reduced course load based on a disability. Once all necessary paperwork is received, it will be reviewed by the Director of the Student Access Office. Should it be determined that the student qualifies for a reduced course load, the student would meet with The Office of Student Financial Services to review student account and appropriate institutional financial assistance.
2. Students seeking the accommodation of a reduced course load must notify the Student Access Office each semester that they intend to utilize the reduced course load accommodation. Such notification must occur during the drop/add period.
3. Students seeking the accommodation of a reduced course load must meet with the academic advising staff in their School or College each semester to review academic progress. Compliance with School or College policies and procedures is mandatory.
4. Most Schools or Colleges have maximum time limits to complete a degree program. Where a student is facing such a time limit due to utilizing their approved accommodation of reduced course load, the student is responsible for formally requesting an extension of that time limit from their School or College.
5. Students that have been approved for the accommodation of a reduced course load need to understand that there are implications of that status for their student account and their financial assistance. Students are advised to discuss any questions or concerns with the Office of Student Financial Services.
