Ò°»¨ÉçÇø

Participants in the Ò°»¨ÉçÇø Affiliates Program must meet and maintain the following eligibility criteria to continue receiving the benefits of the program:

• Admission Requirements: Students must meet all relevant admission requirements for their chosen program of study as determined by Ò°»¨ÉçÇø’s admissions policies.
• Continuous Enrollment: Students must remain continuously enrolled in their academic program. Continuous enrollment is defined as maintaining enrollment during both the fall and spring semesters. Students may enroll on a part-time basis but must not have a gap in enrollment during these terms.
• Academic Standing: Students must remain in good academic standing as defined by Ò°»¨ÉçÇø’s academic policies.
• Program Completion Timeline: Students must complete their degree or certificate program within 150% of the standard program length, as determined by the Ò°»¨ÉçÇø Bursar’s Office.
• Eligible Students: This program is available from Fall 2025 to new students, continuing students without a prior balance and in good academic standing, and readmitted students without a prior balance and in good academic standing.
• Financial Aid Application: Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and/or the New Jersey Alternative Financial Aid Application (if applicable). The Ò°»¨ÉçÇø Affiliates Program tuition discount is calculated based on the total tuition amount and is applied after all other financial aid, scholarships, and grants have been awarded. This discount cannot increase any eligible refund a student may receive.
• Eligibility Confirmation: Students must confirm their continued eligibility for the program each semester. Failure to verify eligibility may result in the suspension or loss of the tuition discount.
• Non-Stacking of Discounts and Aid Programs: The Ò°»¨ÉçÇø Affiliates Program discount cannot be combined with other Ò°»¨ÉçÇø institutional tuition discount programs. If a student qualifies for multiple discount programs, they must select one. This discount may still be applied in conjunction with external financial aid (such as federal and state grants and scholarships), but it cannot be combined with other Ò°»¨ÉçÇø-offered tuition reduction programs.

By participating in the Ò°»¨ÉçÇø Affiliates Program, students acknowledge and agree to these terms. Failure to meet any of these conditions may result in the loss of program benefits.

Ò°»¨ÉçÇø alumni who have successfully completed a degree program are eligible to participate in the Affiliates Program, provided they meet the following criteria:

• The new degree program must be initiated within five years of the alumnus's graduation from Ò°»¨ÉçÇø.
• The alumnus must have graduated in good academic standing.

Participants who complete BGCHC programs and meet Ò°»¨ÉçÇø's admission requirements receive conditional admission and a 20% tuition discount for up to four years, provided they maintain good academic standing.

In January 2024, Ò°»¨ÉçÇø signed an MOU with JCPOBA to facilitate higher education opportunities for Jersey City law enforcement officers.
