early aDmISSIon
The College has established an Early Admission Program in accordance with State Education Department
guidelines to provide academically capable high school seniors and juniors an opportunity to take college-level
courses. High school seniors can participate on either a full-time or part-time basis. Students must be pursuing
a Regents Diploma and must have a high school average of 80% or higher and a recommendation from the high
school guidance counselor or principal. High school juniors will be considered on a part-time basis only and are
subject to the same standards. Early admission application forms can be obtained on the college’s website at
www.sunyacc.edu or from the Admissions Office at SUNY Adirondack. Early admission students are not permitted
to audit any course.
federal and state legislation prevents early admission students from receiving any state or Title Iv federal student
aid. SUNY Adirondack’s Title Iv aid programs include the federal Pell grant (Pell), federal Stafford loan
(fSl and UfSl), federal Supplemental grant (SEOg) and the federal Work-Study (fWS) Program. State-funded
financial aid includes the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Aid for Part-Time Students (APTS).
tHe InDIVIDualIZeD eDuCatIon program (Iep) DIploma
The State Education Department has ruled that an Individualized Education Program (IEP) diploma is different
from a high school diploma in that it is not an indicator of successful completion of high school study. Community
colleges, including SUNY Adirondack, are therefore under no legal obligation to accept such students under the
terms of the State’s full opportunity policy.
