HESC Issues Revised Part-time TAP and Part-time Veterans Tuition Award Certification Procedures


HESC has revised its certification process to improve the accuracy of Part-time TAP (PT-TAP) award and Part-time Veterans Tuition Award (PT-VTA) calculations.

When certifying (or recertifying a student previously certified as part-time) a student for PT-TAP or a PT-VTA, the full-time tuition indicated in the TUITION field on the roster must be changed to reflect the student’s actual tuition liability.

The PT-TAP and/or PT-VTA award is then calculated using the student's part-time tuition charge and the number of credits the student is enrolled for.

Revised PT-TAP and PT-VTA certification procedures are available in:
