ThePanther Potential Programassists students who have previously made substantial progress towards their Adelphi degree (generally at least 60 credits) but unfortunately had to leave for various reasons before receiving a degree.

Reasons for leaving may have been due to exhausted financial aid options, or needing to work full time to support a family.
