Special Information about TAP and the SCS Non-credit Certificate Programming

Non-credit certificate courses at the School of Continuing Studies affect total TAP balance more dramatically than credit-bearing courses at GU.

Because these courses are non-credit, we use a formula that converts the tuition cost of the course into equivalent TAP credit hours. These equivalent credit hours are then applied to your lifetime TAP maximum. If you plan to take both a degree program (undergraduate or graduate) and a non-credit course, carefully consider your educational needs and total TAP balance.

Staff using benefits for programs at the School of Continuing Studies should note that applications for TAP benefits must be submitted a minimum of 14 business days before the non-credit certificate program start date to allow time for review and processing.

All withdrawals and refunds are subject to Refund and Withdrawal Policies. Please contact the School of Continuing Studies for further details.
