Last Semester Exception (LSE)

Traditionally, students are required to be enrolled as a full-time student and their courses are required to meet graduation requirements to be eligible for TAP. The student's final term of study is an exception. If a student needs fewer than 12 credits in their final semester, additional courses beyond their degree requirements may be included to determine full time status.

To be eligible for this award, students must not have exhausted their existing TAP awards and are required to meet the following criteria:

  • Be enrolled for at least three (3) credits toward their degree requirements
  • Registered for a minimum of 12 credits
  • Complete all courses successfully with a passing grade
  • Graduate at the end of the term

Students who do not meet the criteria may have their TAP award revoked for the respective term and owe monies to the college.

If you believe you qualify and meet the criteria for the LSE, kindly contact the DegreeWorks/FACTS Support Center, via email at TAP.Audit@lehman.cuny.edu

 

Penultimate Semester Exception (PSE)

A Penultimate (2nd to last) Semester Exception (PSE) for TAP eligibility may be granted to a student in his/her penultimate semester if the student registers as a full-time student (12 credits) of which 6 credits are towards the graduation requirements.

To be eligible for this award, students must not have exhausted their existing TAP awards and are required to meet the following criteria:

  • Be enrolled for at least six (6) credits toward degree requirements
  • Register for a minimum of 12 credits
  • Complete all courses successfully with a passing grade
  • Graduate at the end of the following term

Students who do not meet the criteria may have their TAP award revoked for the respective term and owe monies to the college.
