Admissions and Finances (Professional Studies)

It is the policy of St. Joseph’s University not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national and ethnic origin, age, handicap, or marital status in its educational programs, admission policies, employment policies, financial aid, or other school administered programs. This policy is implemented in compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Admission Requirements

An applicant wishing to pursue an undergraduate Professional Studies degree or certificate program must be an individual with a high school diploma or its equivalent and be deemed capable of completing the requirements for the degree or certificate. In addition to having met the general admission requirements, students typically have post secondary education and training and have acquired, through experience, the skills and knowledge appropriate to the degree or certificate. Exceptions to this are made with the approval of the Provost. Additional requirements for majors and certificate programs are indicated in the Curricular Offerings  section of the catalog.

Application Procedure

The application procedure for undergraduate Professional Studies degrees and certificates (other than the Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing) begins when the applicant submits evidence of the high school diploma or equivalent and meets with an admissions counselor at either SJNY Brooklyn or SJNY Long Island. During this meeting, the applicant will discuss the program with the counselor and complete an application form.

As part of the admission procedure, the applicant will complete a brief writing exercise and have it evaluated by University personnel. Based on the applicant’s prior training and experience, the applicant’s writing ability, and the admission interview, the counselor may make the decision regarding admittance to a Professional Studies degree or certificate program. The counselor may also help the applicant plan a program suitable to the educational needs and goals of the applicant. (See Curricular Offerings  for additional requirements and procedures for admission to major and certificate programs.)

An applicant may be accepted pending receipt of official records of prior education. Only after all official records have been received and evaluated will the admission process be complete and the student fully admitted.

When evidence of a high school diploma or its equivalent does not appear on transfer credit documentation, it will be necessary for the student to submit such evidence in order to be fully admitted.

A completed medical form must be submitted. New York State Public Health Law requires all students who were born on or after January 1, 1957 to be immunized against measles, mumps and rubella. Proof of immunity must be submitted to the Center for Counseling and Wellness prior to enrollment.

A completed Meningococcal Vaccination Response Form as required by New York State Public Health Law must be submitted.

Conditional Admission

An applicant who has satisfied the requirements for admission and is deemed capable of University-level coursework but needs academic skill development is admitted on a “conditional” basis. A person in this category is permitted to register for no more than 12 hours of coursework, to be specified by the admission counselor. Upon satisfactory completion of the specified courses, the student will meet with an academic advisor to plan additional coursework as determined by that advisor (not applicable to Nursing majors).

Online Program Admissions

Applicants interested in pursuing either an undergraduate or graduate online degree must be adults over the age of 22. All students must have a high school diploma or equivalent. If student has completed University level coursework a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required.  Exceptions to this are made with the approval of the Provost.

Online University Admissions Procedure

Applicants deal directly with the foreign credential evaluation service, such as World Education Services and are responsible for following the procedures of the service and payment of all fees charged for that service. The applicant may also be required to submit a word-for-word English translation of credentials by a University-approved translation service at the applicant’s expense.

Non-Matriculated Status

A person may opt to enroll in a limited number of courses for personal or professional enrichment as a non-matriculated student and may accumulate as many as 18 credits. The student may not take additional courses unless he/she applies and is admitted for matriculation. The person seeking to enroll in this category will be subject to the application requirements and procedures described above.

Registration at St. Joseph’s University is contingent upon admission to the University and acquisition of a valid student visa (F-1) from the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. For further information, please contact (718) 940-5800, or visit our website at www.sjny.edu.

Transfer Credit and Prior Learning Assessment Policies

Adults bring a wide array of talents and expertise to the University experience. Some of it stems from a traditional collegiate program and some of it comes from non-traditional sources, such as professional training, technical and certification programs, as well as their own work experience.

Adult learners applying to a Professional Studies program (excluding Nursing) will be considered for:

• a maximum of 90 credits from a regionally accredited four-year institution
• a maximum of 82 credits from a regionally accredited two-year institution
• a maximum of 27 credits through Prior Experiential Learning Assessment (P.E.L.A.). Through P.E.L.A., eligible students can register for an experiential portfolio seminar and work with the Prior Learning Assessment coordinator to document and thoroughly assess prior learning experiences.
• a maximum of 82 prior learning credits from the following educational experiences: approved training programs, certifications and credit by examination. Credits from educational institutions that are not regionally accredited but are approved New York State collegiate programs may be accepted. These credits cannot be counted towards the residency requirement of 30 credits. They also cannot count towards program residency requirements.
• The maximum number of credits awarded for Professional Studies majors for any combination of credits from community/junior University’s, non-collegiate sponsored instruction, Prior Experiential Learning Assessment, and proficiency examinations is 82 credits. Credits earned at a four-year regionally accredited four-year collegiate institution-at a grade of C- or better–could be counted beyond these 82 credits (up to 90) only when the additional credit is determined to be beyond the introductory level.

To earn a Professional Studies bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s University, students must complete a minimum of 30 credits in residence.
 

University Proficiency Examinations

Matriculated students pursuing a Professional Studies degree may apply for credit or placement for the equivalent of St. Joseph’s University courses on the basis of their successful completion of examinations sponsored by:

1. CLEP-The University Board’s University-Level Examination Program
2. EXCELSIOR University EXAMINATIONS-The New York State Education Department’s Regents University Examinations.
3. DSST-(DANTES Subject Standardized Tests). Nursing students cannot avail themselves of the portfolio option, but they can take standardized exams.
4. NYU Language Proficiency Exams.

Students who wish credit or placement on the basis of any of these examinations should have a copy of their scores forwarded from the sponsoring agency to the Registrar of St. Joseph’s University. When a decision has been reached, the student will receive written confirmation of the credit or placement granted. For information on other proficiency examinations, consult an advisor or the Prior Experiential Learning Assessment Coordinator

Non-Collegiate Sponsored Instruction

The decision to accept credit toward the baccalaureate degree for work completed in settings other than approved collegiate institutions is done on an individual basis.

1. Professional Studies programs provide for the transfer of credits for individuals who have completed New York State recognized professional training programs, where such programs are at the collegiate level.
2. Professional Studies programs provide for the awarding of University credit as per the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Service, National University Credit Recommendation Service (www.nationalccrs.org/), and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs, and the Joint Statement on the Transfer and Award of Credit from the American Council on Education.
3. Awarding of credit for non-collegiate sponsored instruction does not extend to the Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing.

Prior Experiential Learning Assessment

Prior Experiential Learning Assessment (P.E.L.A.) Program

St. Joseph’s University recognizes that adult learners, through their professional training and experience, attain knowledge and skills that can translate into collegiate credit. Professional Studies students, except for nursing majors, with extensive and varied experiential learning, may participate in the Prior Experiential Learning Assessment (P.E.L.A.) Program, where they enroll in GS-111L Experiential Portfolio Seminar, a non-credit mentored seminar designed to facilitate the assessment of prior experiential learning for the purpose of developing an experiential learning portfolio. Validated learning, not the experience alone, is the basis for awarding credit. Credit is not awarded for “having lived,” but rather for having mastered-through professional, creative, volunteer, or other experience-knowledge and skills that are deemed to be at the University level and are applicable in the context of the student’s degree program.

Eligibility to participate in the P.E.L.A. Program requires the following:

• Full matriculation prior to pursuit of P.E.L.A.
• A minimum grade of C for ENG-103 Writing for Effective Communication
• Completion of 36 credits (may include transfer credits) toward a degree program at St. Joseph’s University
• A cumulative index of 2.7 in coursework completed at St. Joseph’s University
• Enrollment and completion of the P.E.L.A. program prior to the last semester of a degree program

To register for GS-111L, an appointment must be made with a P.E.L.A. coordinator to evaluate student eligibility and learning experiences. P.E.L.A. coordinators reserve the right to limit the number of courses a student takes for the term(s) during which P.E.L.A. credit is pursued.

Credit earned through the P.E.L.A. Program is applicable to the major (as explained below), liberal arts, and elective portion of the curriculum. With regard to the B.S. in Human Services and B.S. in Health Administration, P.E.L.A. credit can be used to satisfy the “6 or 9 additional credits” section of Major Electives. In certain circumstances, P.E.L.A. may also satisfy a Major Elective. For the B.S. in Organizational Management, P.E.L.A. credit can be applied to the “Elective Business Courses” section. Credits awarded through the P.E.L.A. Program are not applicable to the prescribed minimum of 21 credits of coursework toward the major that must be taken at St. Joseph’s University, nor are they applicable to the 30 credit residency requirement. The maximum P.E.L.A. credit award is 27 credit hours.

GS-111L Experiential Portfolio Seminar Experience and Credit Award Process:

An integral part of the GS-111L Seminar is the validation process, which consists of assembling relevant documents that demonstrate knowledge and skills into a prior experiential learning portfolio under the supervision of a qualified mentor. Portfolios are evaluated by qualified faculty members, and a credit award is made after taking into consideration content, competence level, University-credit appropriateness, and applicability to the student’s degree program. Notification of the credit award is sent to the student prior to the conclusion of the next regular semester. At the time credit awards are made, students’ records will be updated to reflect the addition of credits.

Since students applying for P.E.L.A. credit work closely under the tutelage of a mentor well-versed in prior experiential learning assessment, the likelihood of an appeal for reconsideration of the credit award is greatly reduced. In the event, however, that such a request is made, the P.E.L.A. coordinator will review the portfolio in consultation with the appropriate department representative.

Students seeking P.E.L.A. credit are required to take the Experiential Portfolio Seminar at the prevailing undergraduate per credit charge. In addition, students are required to cover the cost associated with the evaluation of their portfolios; students will be billed the P.E.L.A. evaluation fee at the time of registration for GS-111L. (See Statement of Costs.) Since the P.E.L.A. Program is distinct from the Proficiency Examination option of Prior Learning Assessment, students are obligated to pay all expenses related to proficiency examinations, independent of the P.E.L.A. evaluation fee.

General Limitations on Prior Learning Credit

1. Professional Studies programs do not accept prior learning credit earned from duplicative coursework or proficiency’s.
2. Credit earned in remedial coursework or at a pre-collegiate level is not accepted for prior learning credit.
3. Credits earned with grades below C may be restricted or refused for transfer.
4. Prior learning credit is accepted but not computed in the grade-point average.
5. Inactive students who have not had a prior learning transfer evaluation will be subject to the policies in force at the time of their readmission.
6. St. Joseph’s University reserves the right to accept credit, including credit earned at the University by non-matriculated students, in a way best calculated to preserve the integrity of its own degree.

Procedure for Requesting Prior Learning Credit

Students wishing to receive credit for prior learning should contact an advisor to find out which prior learning documentation is necessary; e.g., official transcripts, University proficiency test results, copies of military training records (JST: Joint Services Transcript), copies of professional certificates, etc. Official copies of the relevant documents must be sent directly from the institutions/agencies to the St. Joseph’s University campus where students made initial application.

Prior Learning/transfer credit evaluations are typically not made until after students submit an application and are admitted at least provisionally.

See also the transfer credit request procedure for the Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing.

Servicemembers Opportunity University’s (SOC)

St. Joseph’s University is a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity University’s (SOC), a consortium of over 1800 institutions pledged to work with Servicemembers, their families, and veterans trying to earn degrees while pursuing demanding careers. As a SOC member, St. Joseph’s University is committed to the transfer of relevant course credits, flexible academic residence requirements, and crediting learning from appropriate military training and work experience.

Statement of Costs for Academic Year 2024-2025

                                        Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

Tuition Policy

Students accepted for admission must make a tuition deposit at the time of registration. Full time students (12 or more credits semester, 9 or more credits trimester) pay $250; part-time students pay $80. (These amounts include a $5.00 I.D. Card Fee.) The deposit is not refundable, but it will be credited toward the first term’s tuition. In certain instances, the non-refundable tuition deposit paid by a first semester student may be applied to the next semester.

A student’s bill for tuition and fees is based on the number of credits for which a student intends to register, less applicable Financial Aid, Grants, or Scholarships for that semester. Scholarships or Student Aid may only be subtracted if all related applications and other information have been submitted on a timely basis. Payment of the remaining balance constitutes “Clearance” by the Bursar’s Office.

Bills for the semester must be cleared by the Bursar’s Office before students may attend class. Students who do not receive financial clearance from the Bursar’s Office will not be officially registered at the University for that semester. Students may not enroll for a successive semester until their accounts have been completely satisfied.

St. Joseph’s University, New York offers a tuition financing option through a tuition deferment program. The monthly budgeting program the University offers is through an outside agency called, Nelnet Campus Commerce. Basically, the program is designed to afford students the opportunity to pay their educational expenses in monthly installments. Students may elect to contract with the service for a nominal initial participation fee prior to or at the beginning of each new academic year. Students interested in the plan may obtain brochures and applications in the Bursar’s Office. Additional information may be received by calling Nelnet at 1(800) 609-8056.

Students who are unable to pay what is owed by the first day of class (other than those who are enrolled with Nelnet) will have their account automatically default to St. Joseph’s University, New York Tuition Extension Agreement. Unlike the deferment program, under the St. Joseph’s University, New York Tuition Agreement, a finance charge will be assessed.

Questions regarding the University’s tuition policy should be addressed to the Bursar at SJNY Long Island (631) 687-4555.

Students who fail to comply with these regulations will be subject to suspension until the requirements are met.

SEMESTER FLAT-RATE: The flat-rate for tuition covers 33 credits per academic year. In this way, the University’s requirement of 120- 128 credits can be achieved in eight terms. Full-time students-those taking at least 12 credits-are charged the flat rate. (See Statement of Costs for Academic Year.) Intersession and Summer session courses are not included within the flat-rate tuition. Full-time students who take more than 33 credits per academic year will be charged for each additional credit. Up to 18 of the 33 credits may be taken in one semester without an additional charge.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: International students who require insurance coverage in excess of the limits provided by the student accident and sickness plan can request enrollment in a plan tailored to the international student. International students who wish to participate in the International Plan must obtain an Enrollment Form from the Dean of Students Office.

TRIMESTER FLAT-RATE: The flat-rate tuition will be charged to trimester students taking 12 to 15 credits per trimester. Once the session has begun, flat-rate students who change their programs to less than 12 credits will continue to be responsible for the flat-rate tuition charge (as opposed to the per-credit rate.) Those trimester students who take more than 15 credits per trimester will be charged for each additional credit at the per credit rate. Intersession courses are not included within the flat-rate tuition and must be paid for per credit.

PER CREDIT: Students taking fewer than 12 credits per semester/trimester are charged the per credit rate.

 A diploma will not be issued until all financial obligations have been settled. The University reserves the right to alter tuition charges and fees when such changes become necessary.

Withdrawal from a Course or from the University: Tuition Refunds

Withdrawal from a course or from the University may entitle a student to a refund of tuition, but not of fees. A students last day of attendance or for Online courses, the last day of participation is utilized to determine tuition liability and when calculating refunds. Last day of participation is defined as the last date a graded academic assignment is submitted.  Full-time campus-based undergraduate students who receive permission to withdraw from a single course are not entitled to a refund, unless the withdrawal involves extra credits. In such cases, the student may ask for a refund of the extra tuition within the first four weeks of the term.  Part-time students who withdraw from a course may be entitled to a refund. Once the classes have begun, flat-rate undergraduate students who change their programs to less than 12 credits will continue to be responsible for the flat-rate tuition charge (as opposed to the per-credit rate). The percentage of refund for undergraduate and graduate students will be determined according to the following schedules (based on the courses start/end dates): 
 
For 12-14 week classes (including GMS courses):

Withdrawal Effective % of Refund Prior to Second Week 100% During Second Week 80% Third Week 60% Fourth Week 40% Fifth Week 20% After Fifth Week No Refund 
 
For 6-8 week classes:

Withdrawal Effective % of Refund Prior to Second Week 100% During Second Week 60% Third Week 20% After Third Week No Refund 
 
For 4 week classes: 

Withdrawal Effective % of Refund Prior to Third Class 100% After Third Class 60% After Fourth Class 20% After Fifth Class No Refund 

For classes meeting for 2 weeks or less:

Withdrawal Effective % of Refund Prior to Second Class 100% After Second Class No Refund 
 
This schedule does not apply to the tuition deposit required of first time students. This deposit is non-refundable. Federal Title IV recipients should see the Return of Title IV Funds section of this catalog. In the absence of an instructor’s attendance verification, the date of withdrawal is determined by the Dean. Withdrawal from online courses is based on the last date of participation in the course and is determined by the SJNY Online administrative team. A student who believes his/her individual circumstances warrant an exception to the University’s refund policy may submit a written appeal for special consideration to the Bursar. That decision is subject to appeal to the Chief Financial Officer. Refunds of financial aid awards, student loans, etc., are not refundable until the actual funds have been received by the University and the student’s eligibility for the funds has been determined. A refund will not be granted to a student who is dismissed or who withdraws while under disciplinary action. Once the Bursar’s Office has determined that a student is eligible to receive a refund, it will automatically be processed by the office. Students’ accounts are reviewed regularly to validate the credit and when appropriate, a refund check is scheduled and then issued. All checks are mailed to the permanent address on file for the student. If the refund is generated by a Parent PLUS loan, the refund may be sent to your parent.  For students/parents who wish to carry a credit to a future semester, a carry credit request form (which can be obtained on the SJNY portal, under Bursar Forms), with the semester indicated, needs to be submitted to the Bursar’s Office.  Please note credits can only be carried within the same academic year.  All spring credits will be refunded and cannot be carried to future semesters. 

Withdrawal from an Online Course

Ordinarily, withdrawal may take place up to the midpoint of the term or session. Refunds, however, may be obtained only through the fifth calendar week for online courses. The date of withdrawal is the date on which written notice of such a request is actually received at omop@SJNYny.edu. In the absence of written notification, the date of withdrawal is determined by the Dean.
 

Students must contact Ashley Benson at 631.687.1418 when withdrawing.

Awarding of Degrees and Graduation

Graduation exercises are held annually in June. Degrees, however, are granted three times a year (August, January, June). August and January graduates may elect to receive diplomas in February or wait until commencement. Students who expect to satisfy the requirements for the B.S. degree by the June commencement date must file an application for graduation by the previous October 15th. Students who require proof of graduation prior to commencement may request a letter of completion and/or transcript from the Registrar.

All students filing for graduation must have a total of 128 credits, at least 60 of which must be in the liberal arts.

Students who miss the deadline for graduation application will not receive diplomas until two months after the date of graduation. No diplomas will be mailed.

Where it appears that a student who is applying for graduation is requesting a change of major in order to graduate at an earlier date and where it appears that the student intends to complete another major at St. Joseph’s University, the Dean - in consultation with the appropriate department chairpersons - reserves the right to deny the request.

Any change in program stated on the graduation application must be brought to the attention of the Registrar.

Students will be required to pay for all coursework required for graduation, even if this should exceed 128 credits. In those instances where this credit in excess of 128 would result in a student’s being required to pay flat rate tuition, the Registrar may offer the student the option of doing a 1 or 2 credit independent study, thereby keeping the credit load under 12 and the tuition rate at the per credit basis. This applies only to the unrestricted elective portion of the program, not to any coursework required for the degree or certificate.

Financial Aid

Application Instructions

All matriculating students may apply for financial aid (Bachelor of Science Degree; Certificate in Management; Certificate in Alcoholism and Addictions counseling; Certificate in Criminology/Criminal Justice).

Semester Students

Trimester Students 

Federal Financial Aid Programs

To receive federal student aid, a student must: 1)  have a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or complete a high school education in a home school setting approved under state law; 2)  be enrolled or accepted as a regular student in an eligible degree or certificate program; 3) be a U.S. citizen, U.S. National, or eligible non-citizen; 4) have a valid Social Security Number (unless you are from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau); 5) maintain satisfactory academic progress in University; 6) sign certifying statements on the FAFSA stating that you are not in default on a federal student loan and do not owe a refund on a federal grant; and 7) certify that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Federal Financial Aid Recipients

Satisfactory academic progress is defined as proceeding toward successful completion of degree requirements. The SJNY Office of Financial Aid is required by federal regulation to determine whether a student is meeting the requirements. The official record of the SJNY Registrar is reviewed to determine student compliance with this Policy. Satisfactory Academic Progress is reviewed and determined at the conclusion of each semester. 

This Policy pertains only to applicants for federal financial aid.  Federal financial aid includes Federal Pell grants, Federal SEOG, Federal Direct Stafford Loans, Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans, Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans and Federal Work Study. A recipient of an SJNY institutional scholarship, tuition remission, or an institutional grant must meet the eligibility requirements of the respective program. The New York Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), as well as any other state sponsored programs, has their own, specific progress policies. We encourage you to review the Office of Financial Aid website. If you have questions about the monitoring of satisfactory progress not addressed in this policy, please contact our office.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements-

1. GPA

• Undergraduate students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0.
• Graduate students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0.

2. Pace

• All students must successfully complete at least 75% of the cumulative hours attempted.  This includes all courses attempted at SJNY as well as courses transferred into SJNY that are applicable to a student’s program.  For example, a student who has attempted a cumulative total of 55 hours must have successfully completed at least 41 credit hours to meet the requirement (55 x .75 = 41.25; round decimals down to whole numbers).

3. Maximum Time Frame

• Students must not exceed a maximum number of hours to complete the degree program. Undergraduate students are no longer eligible to receive federal financial aid once they have attempted 150% of the credits required to complete the degree.Graduate students must complete the degree within five calendar years. For example:
  • 120 credit undergraduate degree programs must not exceed 180 credits.
  • Certificate programs must not exceed 150% of published length of program.  For example, a 24 credit program must not exceed 36 credits (24 x 1.5 = 36).
  • Graduate programs must be completed within five calendar years of the start term. 
     

Courses/Grades Used in Determining Satisfactory Academic Progress:

All coursework attempted, including any dropped, repeated, reprieved or remedial courses or withdrawals recorded on the SJNY Transcript at the time of the progress check are considered when determining if the student has exceeded the maximum number of hours for degree completion and has completed 75% of the total cumulative hours attempted.

The following grades indicate successful completion of a course: “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “P”.

The following grades indicate a course was not successfully completed: “F”,”I”, “AB”, “WD”, “WF”, “WU”, “FN”, “NC”, or a course for which a grade was not entered.

Audit courses are not counted in the total hours attempted for any semester or as successful completion of a course. Independent study, correspondence and extension courses may count toward successful completion of hours attempted if they are completed by the last day of the semester. For information about eligibility and payment of aid for these types of courses, please contact the Financial Aid Office.  

Transfer coursework must be reflected on the SJNY Transcript to be considered for purposes of financial aid eligibility 

Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress:

A student who exceeds the maximum number of hours allowed for degree completion will be suspended from future financial aid until the reason for the excessive hours can be adequately documented.

A student who either fails to achieve the required cumulative Graduation/Retention GPA, or to complete at least 75% of the total hours attempted, will be placed on financial aid warning for the following academic term of enrollment at SJNY. A student may receive financial aid while on warning.  At the end of the warning period, if a student is meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements, he/she will regain unconditional eligibility for federal financial aid programs. If a student has not met the requirements, he/she will have eligibility for federal financial aid suspended. Please see below.

Financial Aid Suspension:

A student denied assistance based on the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy may submit a written appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. An appeal form is included in the suspension notification letter.  The appeal and supporting documentation must be received in the SJNY Financial Aid Office by the deadline reflected in the suspension notification letter. The appeal should speak in detail to mitigating or extenuating circumstances that affected the student’s academic performance, i.e., severe physical injury or mental trauma.

A student suspended for exceeding the maximum hours allowed for degree completion should also have the academic advisor complete the “Remaining Hours Required for Degree Completion” form if extenuating circumstances require the student to exceed the maximum hours limit. The form is included in the suspension notification letter.

Action taken on a financial aid appeal is final and is transmitted to the student in writing by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. Depending upon the timeliness of the appeal, it is possible for a student to have an appeal denied and also not be entitled to a refund of charges if the student chooses to withdraw from classes. A student who enrolls and attends class whose appeal is subsequently denied will be eligible for a refund of charges based solely on the refund policy in the in the SJNY Catalog.  

 A student suspended for reasons other than exceeding the maximum number of hours for degree completion who does not appeal, or whose appeal is denied, may be reinstated on a probationary basis by meeting both of the following criteria:

1. Achieve the required cumulative Graduation/Retention GPA. (Undergraduate = 2.00; Graduate = 3.00); and,
2. Successfully complete 75% of the total cumulative hours attempted or 75% of the hours attempted for that semester.

A student may regain eligibility by attending SJNY for the academic year without the benefit of federal financial aid and meeting the SAP eligibility criteria. A student may also regain eligibility by transferring work into SJNY from an accredited institution. Transfer work must be reflected on the SJNY transcript to be considered for purposes of federal financial aid eligibility.

Withdrawal From the University Return of Title IV (R2T4) Funds - Federal Aid Recipients

All students should consult with a financial aid counselor in the Office of Financial Aid before changing enrollment status or withdrawing from the University. Any changes may affect financial aid eligibility.

Federal financial aid is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire semester for which the aid is awarded. When a student withdraws from the University (officially or unofficially), he or she may no longer be eligible for the full amount of federal aid originally awarded. If a federal financial aid recipient withdraws after beginning classes and before the 60 percent point in the term, the amount of federal grant and/or loan assistance earned by the student must be determined. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned to the federal government by the university. If the amount disbursed to the student is less than the amount the student earned, and for which the student is otherwise eligible, the student may be entitled to a post-withdrawal disbursement. It is important to note that the amount of federal aid earned by the student is determined by the percentage of term completion (number of days in the semester divided into the number of days the student attended), and is not related to the University tuition refund policy. Scheduled breaks of five or more consecutive days are excluded from the number of days in the payment period.  In the event that funds need to be returned, the student may find an outstanding balance on his/her account. The student is responsible for any outstanding balances owed to the University when funds are returned. Funds that the institution must return to the federal government will be returned no later than 45 days after the date of withdrawal determination. 

Courses that do not span the entire length of the regular semester are considered to be modules. A student who is enrolled in module courses is not considered to have withdrawn for R2T4 purposes if the student completes one module that includes 49% or more of the number of days in the payment period. A student is not considered to have withdrawn if he or she submits in writing the intent to enroll in a later module course within the same semester. If the student does not begin attendance in the later module, the student is then considered withdrawn and an R2T4 calculation will be performed. Scheduled breaks of five or more consecutive days and all days between modules are excluded from the number of days in the payment period. 

Title IV funds that are subject to recalculation in the event of a withdrawal from the University are (returned in this order): Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans, Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Iraq & Afghanistan Service Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) and TEACH Grants (St. Joseph’s University does not currently participate in the TEACH Grant).

Federal Pell Grant

Pell grants are available to matriculated, undergraduate students who have not already earned a bachelor’s degree.  Eligibility is based on Student Aid Index (SAI) from the FAFSA application and the student’s enrollment status.  Award amounts for the 2024-25 academic year range from $760 to $7395 annually.  The amount of pell grant funds a student may receive over the course of his/her education is limited by a federal law to be the equivalent of six full time years of funding.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

FSEOG is available to eligible undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional financial need.  At SJNY, a student must be pell eligible and have a 0-1500 Student Aid Index (SAI) to be considered.  Annual award amounts at SJNY for the 2024-25 academic year range from $500 to $1,000 due to limited funding.  FSEOG is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program is offered through the federal campus-based aid program and provides employment opportunities to eligible students.  Actual award amounts are based on the student’s financial need, pay-rate, amount of contracted hours and funding availability.  FWS funds at SJNY are received in the form of a monthly paycheck for hour worked.  FWS funds are limited and positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  An offer of FWS on an award letter does not guarantee position availability.  Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for job availability and more information.

Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans

Direct Subsidized Loans are available to eligible undergraduate students who are enrolled at least half time (6 credits per semester).  Students must have financial need to qualify.  No interest accrues on this loan while the student is enrolled for at least 6 credits per semester or during the six month grace period. Repayment begins 6 months after the student ceases to be enrolled half time.  Direct Subsidized Loans have annual limits based on grade level, and aggregate lifetime limits.  First time borrowers will be required to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance counseling session. 

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans

Direct Unsubsidized Loans are available to eligible undergraduate students who are enrolled at least half time (6 credits per semester).  Financial need is not a requirement.  Interest begins accruing when the loan is disbursed.  Repayment begins 6 months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half time.  Direct Unsubsidized Loans have annual limits, and aggregate lifetime limits.  First time borrowers will be required to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance counseling session.

Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan

Direct PLUS Loans are a credit-based loan available to the parents of dependent, undergraduate students who are enrolled at least half time (6 credits per semester).   The annual loan limit is the student’s cost of attendance minus any other financial aid.  The parent who wishes to borrow will need to complete a credit check and a Master Promissory Note (MPN).

• For students who were not eligible to be claimed by their parents but were eligible to claim tax dependents other than self and/or spouse, their New York State NET taxable income (including spouse’s income) may not exceed $50,550. The spouse’s income must be included if they were married on or before December 31 of the previous calendar year. 

For this program, part-time study means being enrolled for at least:

• 3 but fewer than 12 semester hours per semester.
• 4 but fewer than 8 credit hours per trimester. 

The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) distributes APTS funds to participating University’s in New York State. St. Joseph’s University financial aid administrators select potential recipients from eligible students and decide who will receive APTS awards based on the funds they have available and students’ needs. To apply, students should obtain an APTS application from the Office of Financial Aid. Since funds are limited, the student should complete the application and return it as early as possible for processing.

Additional Programs

In addition to TAP and APTS, NYSHESC administers a variety of additional programs. Some examples of other programs are:

• Flight 3407 Memorial Scholarship
• Flight 587 Memorial Scholarship
• NYS Scholarships for Academic Excellence
• Military Service Recognition Scholarship
• World Trade Center Memorial Scholarship

Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for New York State Aid Recipients

In order to receive TAP payments a student must be meeting the standards of academic progress set by the New York State Education Department, which consist of two  components:

1.    Satisfactory Academic Progress: A requirement that a student accumulates a specified number of credits and achieves a specified cumulative grade point average each term.  Please refer to the chart below.

2.    Pursuit of Program: A requirement that a student completes a certain percentage of credits attempted each term.  The percentage, as specified in regulations, begins at 50% of the minimum full-time course load in each term of the first year an award is received, to 75% in each term of the second year an award is received, to 100% in each term of the third year an award is received and thereafter.

In accordance with section 145-2.2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, each institution participating in State student financial aid programs must determine whether a student is in good academic standing based on a standard of satisfactory academic progress comprising a minimum number of credits to be accrued (earned) with a minimum cumulative grade point average in each term an award payment is received. The progress standard is most clearly presented in chart format (see below).

Initially, the regulation provided that each institution establish and submit for the Commissioner’s approval its proposed standard of progress. However, for the 1995-96 academic year and thereafter, new legislation mandated a minimum cumulative C average after a student has received four full-time semester award payments or the equivalent (24 payment points).

Effective for the 2010-11 academic year and thereafter, New York State Education Law requires a non-remedial student, whose first award year is in 2010-11 and thereafter, must meet new standards of satisfactory academic progress (SAP). Non-remedial students whose first year is 2007-08 through 2009-10 must meet the SAP requirements enacted in 2006. Those meeting the definition of “remedial student” are not subject to the new SAP standards, but will use the requirements established in 2006. The law enacted in 2006 mandated minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress for students receiving their first State award in academic year 2006-07. 

Effective 2010-11 for non-remedial students receiving first NYS award payment in 2010-11 and thereafter. Remedial students and students enrolled in an approved certificate program will use the 2006 SAP charts.

Undergraduate Level Semester Programs
Calendar: Semester 2010-11 and thereafter (non-remedial students)

Undergraduate Level Trimester Programs
Calendar: Trimester 2010-11 and thereafter (non-remedial students)
C average must be met by 6th payment

Note: The 2010-11 enacted NYS budget mandates the following standards of progress, enacted in 2006-07, shall be used for non-remedial students who first receive State aid in 2007-08 through 2009-10 and for students who meet the definition of “remedial student” in 2010-11 and thereafter. The enacted budget defines remedial for purposes of SAP.

Undergraduate Level Semester Programs
Calendar: Semester Calendar 2006-07, 2007-08 through 2009-10 and 2010-11 and thereafter remedial students (if student’s first award was in 2010-11 and he/she does not meet the definition of a remedial student, see charts for non-remedial students)

Undergraduate Level Trimester Programs
Calendar: Trimester Calendar 2006-07, 2007-08 through 2009-10 and 2010-11 and thereafter remedial students (if student’s first award was in 2010-11 and he/she does not meet the definition of a remedial student, see charts for non-remedial students)

Students must meet both the program pursuit requirements and the satisfactory academic progress requirements in each term of payment in order to continue to be eligible. In extraordinary circumstances, a student may be granted a waiver of the minimum requirements. Students are eligible for a waiver only once during their undergraduate career and once during their graduate career. For information about the process of filing a waiver, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

Individuals with Disabilities

Students who are medically diagnosed with a physical, developmental or emotional disability may be eligible for a grant that would help cover tuition, fees and the cost of books.   Please contact the Office of Adult Career and Continuing Education Services - Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) for more information, or visit their website at www.access.nysed.gov/vr/.
