Westchester Community College SUNY

Be a New York State resident for the 12 months before enrolling. Require alternate admissions consideration — EOP is for students who show promise but may not otherwise be offered admission. Qualify as economically disadvantaged: household income must not exceed a limit set annually by household size, unless your circumstances meet a published exception (the family receives Family Assistance, Safety Net or Family Day Care payments; the student is in foster care; or the student is a ward of the court or county). Open to first-time, full-time, matriculated students. A transfer student must have been enrolled in EOP, College Discovery, SEEK, HEOP or a similar program at their previous college. Admission is subject to program capacity, and priority goes to applicants from historically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Provides personal counseling, academic advisement, tutoring, skill development workshops, supplemental instruction and mentoring, plus modest financial aid toward non-tuition costs such as books and supplies. SUNY publishes no per-campus dollar amounts. Applicants may qualify for application fee waivers on their first seven campus choices. Students found ineligible for EOP may still qualify for admission and financial aid through the ordinary processes.

New York State resident; first-time college student, or continuing/transfer student with no more than 18 credits and at least a 2.0 GPA; need no more than two developmental courses; willing to study full-time in an eligible AA, AS or AAS program. Nursing, Paramedic, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Care and Veterinary Technology are excluded. Apply for and accept all financial aid awards: FAFSA and TAP, or the eligible HESC alternate NYS-aid path without FAFSA. Determine Math/Writing placement through the questionnaire or an eligible waiver; complete the campus application and an information session or staff eligibility check, then the August/January New Student Launch and program contract. Meet the dedicated counselor monthly in fall and spring, attend required workshops, complete developmental coursework in the first year with required tutoring, and retake a failed English, Math or Science class the following semester with tutoring. Maintain full-time study through completion; 15 fall/spring credits and summer classes when possible are encouraged rather than mandatory. Confirm all current requirements and intake availability with the campus.

Viking ROADS is the campus SUNY ASAP program. Its current page and linked application say Fall 2026 enrollment is closed. The application asks prospective Spring 2027 applicants to check back after December 1, 2026; it says staff may contact applicants who already applied but received no response when recruitment opens. This is not a guaranteed opening, acceptance or payment. The program remains active for continuing cohorts. Attendance assistance, transportation stipends and bookstore textbook help are listed without dollar amounts; all annual amounts and the combined annual total remain unknown. The page does not state an award effective year. Confirm current recruitment, eligibility, aid and support availability with the campus.
