Summer TAP
As an ASAP student, you are not required to request a summer TAP payment in order to qualify for the ASAP Summer Tuition Scholarship. However, if you would like to be considered for Summer TAP, you must file a TAP Application for the 2026-2027 year and request payment for the summer term by reporting our college code 1404 to Summer 2026.
The enrollment requirements for a summer TAP award are relatively stringent (see especially #3 below):
- If your combined summer session enrollment totals 12 or more credits (with at least 6 degree credits), you may be considered full-time for TAP enrollment purposes. If you receive a full-time summer TAP award, you will utilize one full semester of your remaining TAP eligibility.
- If your combined summer session enrollment totals at least 6 but fewer than 12 equated credits, you may be able to receive a TAP payment for half-time study. You must be registered for at least 3 degree credits as part of your summer course load. If you receive a half-time summer TAP award, you will utilize one-half semester of your remaining TAP eligibility.
- You must have earned at least 24 degree credits in the 2 semesters immediately prior to the summer term to qualify for either a full-time or a half-time summer TAP award. These credits could have been earned in any combination (12 + 12, 8 + 16, etc.). Also, only up to three credits of enrollment in each of the two prior semesters may consist of non-credit equated hours.
Information about summer TAP awards may not always be available in time for summer term registration/bill payment. In the event that this information is not available, you may have to pay your tuition from other resources and receive a refund from the College at a later time.
All use of TAP during the summer counts against your remaining TAP eligibility. You may receive no more than 6 full semester TAP payments at a community college.
