SUMMER SESSION TUITION REMISSION PROGRAM 2003
Home | Services
| Staff | E-mail
The purpose of the AHANA Summer Session Tuition Remission
Program is to aid in the retention of AHANA students by providing resources
to allow those in academic difficulty the opportunity to improve their status
at Boston College. Any AHANA student (someone of African, Hispanic, Asian,
or Native American descent) who experiences academic difficulty and wishes
to take summer courses should first seek assistance from his/her respective
counselor or another professional staff in the Office of AHANA Student Programs.
If after utilizing available supports, students find that they still need
to take summer classes, they should then apply for the AHANA Summer Session
Tuition Remission Program.
The AHANA Summer Session Tuition Remission Program provides
up to two (2) courses and housing and dining for eligible AHANA students.
Students who regularly utilize the office's services by maintaining a relationship
with a counselor (e.g., meeting at least three times per semester) and who
seek other means of academic support, and yet still need to take summer
courses may apply.
Eligible students must submit a completed application, a most
recent unofficial transcript, and the pink copy of the Course Request Form
which is available from their Academic Dean to the Office of AHANA Student
Programs at 72 College Road by Friday, March 28, 2003 at 5:00 PM.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE AHANA SUMMER
TUITION REMISSION PROGRAM 2003
WHO IS ELIGIBLE DURING THE
SUMMER?
Awards will be made to those AHANA students who have accumulated
deficiencies (withdrawals and/or failures), and who can demonstrate that they
have utilized the support services of the Office of AHANA Student Programs
through its tutorial program, counseling services and academic advisement.
Based on Summer Session constraints, a few awards shall be made on the basis
of merit alone and, thus, awards may also be given to students who have done
well and have likewise shown that they have utilized the office's services.
Back
to FAQ
WHY DO I HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE PROACTIVE ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE?
The funds for summer session are provided to students who have
made an effort to improve their academic situation. Unless students make an
attempt to improve during the academic year, the summer session may not be
the best help.
Back
to FAQ
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF COURSES THAT ARE ALLOWED?
A maximum of two courses is allowed.
Back
to FAQ
CAN I GET HOUSING DURING THE SUMMER?
Possibly. Housing is NOT AVAILABLE for the first Summer Session
but will be available for the second session. Housing awards are based on
academic merit and financial need and may be provided where commuting is neither
feasible nor possible on a case-by-case basis. Office funds are for standard
double or triple occupancy only (NO SINGLES AVAILABLE).
Back
to FAQ
ARE MEALS AVAILABLE DURING THE SUMMER?
A limited food allowance for second session only is available
on a case by case basis.
Back
to FAQ
WHO WILL MAKE THE DECISION?
The Counselors will develop a list of students for whom Summer
Session is required. The final decision will rest with a committee consisting
of senior staff in the Office AHANA Student Programs. You can check the Office
of AHANA Student Programs Web Page (www.bc.edu/ahana) for results, which should
come three to four weeks following the March 28, 2003.
Back
to FAQ
WILL I RECEIVE AN "ENTIRE PACKAGE"?
Not necessarily. In most cases, students apply for everything
(i.e. two courses, room and board) and are only awarded a portion of it. It
is best to apply for only that which you need.
Back
to FAQ
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS?
The deadline is FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2003. Late applications will
be accepted and considered at the discretion of the Committee.
Back

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) Summer session is awarded on a case by case basis. Any portion
of the award that you are unable to utilize must be returned to the Office
of AHANA Student Programs. Please immediately notify the Office of AHANA Student
Programs who will determine reallocation of funds.
2) Any student who did not fulfill contract obligations last
summer will not be granted any classes this summer. If you believe, however,
that you have extenuating circumstances, which caused you not to fulfill the

Programs. If you were awarded two courses last summer and failed one of them,
in all likelihood you will only be approved for one course this year.
