C.W. Post and Nassau Community College Sign Admissions
Agreement
December 10, 1998 -- The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University
and Nassau Community College signed a Joint Admissions Agreement on Thursday,
December 10, 1998 to provide an opportunity for students who are admitted
to NCC to also be granted admission to the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville.
Under the new agreement, eligible students must hold an Associate of
Arts or Associate of Science degree from NCC to continue their education
at C.W. Post. Students admitted to the Joint Admissions Program will be
considered as being dually enrolled at both institution and have junior
year status upon registering at C.W. Post. They will also receive a C.W.
Post student I.D. card allowing them to use the C.W. Post library, computer
laboratories and athletic facilities.
"Through our new Joint Admissions Agreement, associate's degree
graduates of Nassau Community College are able to maintain the momentum
of their education as they continue on to the bachelor's degree level,"
said C.W. Post Provost Joe Shenker. "We've developed a seamless process
that employs all the advantages of earning an associate's degree and a
bachelor's degree from two of Long Island's most notable schools."
Transfer students can choose from more than 85 bachelor's degree programs
at C.W. Post and will be guaranteed on-campus housing upon transfer. While
studying at NCC for the associate's degree, students who participate in
the program will be invited to on-campus events and activities at C.W.
Post and can meet with an academic counselor who will offer periodic information
about their intended academic area of study. Scholarship assistance is
automatically available to students transferring with a 3.0 or better grade
point average. Special scholarships for students with a 3.5 GPA or higher
are also available.
"We are extremely pleased to have established this Joint Admissions
Agreement with C.W. Post," said Dr. Sean A. Fanelli, President of
Nassau Community College. "Both institutions will benefit from it,
but more importantly and to an even greater extent, it will be a benefit
to our students."
