C.W. Post and Suffolk County Community College Sign Admissions
Agreement
The C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University and Suffolk County Community
College signed a Joint Admissions Agreement on December 17, 1998 to provide
an opportunity for students who are admitted to SCCC to also be granted
admission to the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville.
Students admitted to the Joint Admissions Program will be considered
as being dually enrolled 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 Suffolk County 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 100 bachelor's degree programs
at C.W. Post and will be guaranteed on-campus housing upon transfer. While
studying at SCCC 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
also available to students transferring with a 3.5 or better grade point
average.
Dr. James F. Canniff, Vice President for Academic and Campus Affairs
at Suffolk County Community College, commented, "This joint admissions
agreement provides an excellent educational opportunity for our students
who wish to transfer to C.W. Post. A partnership like this takes the guesswork
out of transferring to a four-year college for our graduates. Through this
agreement, students know that their full associate degree will be accepted
by C.W. Post and will apply towards a bachelor's degree."

of the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, 720 Northern Boulevard
