Onondaga 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.

Full-time student in an approved major; the college publishes the list, grouped into four areas: art, communication, business and entrepreneurship; health, wellness and human services; liberal arts and sciences; and technology, engineering and computing. Fewer than 21 credits (not counting high school credits) with at least a 2.0 GPA. Apply and qualify for at least $1 of federal Pell or NYS grant aid (TAP or Excelsior). U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, including NYS DREAM Act and Dream.US students and veterans receiving educational benefits. Eligible for in-state tuition. Confirm current requirements and availability with the campus.

The campus describes funding for textbooks, groceries, transportation and other costs of attendance, plus academic help, advising and career development, but publishes no amounts; all annual amounts and the combined total remain unknown. These are not guaranteed payments or enrollment; confirm current eligibility, aid, participation and availability with the campus.
