CCC students receiving a performance-based (i.e., athletic, co-curricular, band, and vocal) scholarship will be required to take a minimum of 15 credit hours each semester they are receiving the scholarship. Also, these students shall have 40 percent of their degree completed by the end of their first year (excluding zero-level courses). These students must attend at least one Financial Aid Workshop each semester unless they can provide evidence that their FAFSA and all necessary paperwork has been completed. Failure to meet these expectations may result in academic probation or revocation of the scholarship in extreme circumstances. This includes but is not limited to, the NJCAA Letter of Intent and Scholarship Agreement. Students transferring in credit hours and receiving a scholarship must be granted written permission by the Vice President of Academic Affairs to take less than 15 credit hours a semester, as long as they meet or are on track to meet 40 percent completion towards their degree.

All scholarship grade point average requirements and eligibility rules remain applicable.
