Andrew Muller discussed services for students with disabilities. He also mentioned that students who had disabilities could not read
write something. Therefore, they provided Reading and Writing system in order to improve their academic skills. Overall, students who
had disabilities could go to S132, science building. The lab was located in room 115, library building. Next, Jennifer Klein discussed

Paying for College
Today, I attended a CLIP college hour in room M136. There was a speaker named Paul Cavalieri discussed the office of Financial Service and the office of the Bursar. First of all, there were four types of financial aid: grant, loan, scholarship, and interest. According to Paul Cavalieri, an eligible full time student must be enrolled for 12 credits courses each semester and had a matriculated status in order to get financial aid. In addition, students needed to apply every academic year for financial aid. Students who were citizen or permanent resident were eligible for applying financial aid. Financial aid still followed when students enrolled in basic skills.

Dear xxx,
Today, I attended a CLIP college hour in room M136. There were three speakers: David Rothman (Academic Literacy), Sherry Gillman(Speech Department), and Mark Schiebe (English Department). First of all, David Rothman discussed basic skill classes. He said that Academic Literacy separated two parts of class: Reading and writing. There were five classes which students had to take were BE201, BE203, BE205, BE225, and BE226. After finishing those classes, students needed to retake the placement test. Students needed to get 56 or above in CAT-W and 70 in ACT in order to pass the placement test, and then they would move forward to English 101. Financial Aid would cover those courses, but those courses did not have any credits. Next, Sherry Gillman Rada discussed speech. After finishing CLIP class, students were required to take Speech Placement Test. Speech department separated the classes in SP005, SP006, SP020, and SP007. Then, Mark Schiebe discussed English. English department separated the class in Eng101and Eng102, electives. English classes would have many literature, journalism courses, dramas, and films to learn.

CUNY Start and ASAP
Today I listened to a lecture on CUNY Start delivered by Madhumita Chandra. CUNY Start is a program that provides instruction in academic skills for college students who fail the CUNY placement exams. Students who want to enroll in CUNY Start need to be accepted to QCC and pass the CUNY placement exams in at least Math and Reading or Writing. This program has sixteen weeks per semester. For the first twelve weeks students have the first chance to take the test. If they fail the test, they will have the second chance to take it at the last week. Because the space is limited, students will be chosen by a lottery system. I think this would be a good program for me because it does not need to use my financial aid to support, so I can save it for credit courses. Moreover, I have two opportunities to retake the placement exams. Finally, it is cheap to pay for a long semester. Unfortunely, I am not avialable to study in this program because I had passed Math in the exam. For more information about this program, students can contact the CUNY Start office in Y-12. They can also call the office number which is (718)281-5368 or send an email to [email protected] . Next, Najwa Argandwa also gave some information about ASAP. ASAP is a program that helps college students in earning their Associates Degree. Once the students is accepted in ASAP, they have to take ASAP classes for the first year of college. Furthermore, ASAP offers a variety of tutorings for students in order to enhance their careers. For the eligibility in this program, students must be a New York City resident. They need to have a minimum of 2.0 GPA and earn less than fifteen college credits. In addition, it is required to file the FAFSA for this program, otherwise students will respond to pay tuition and fees. However, students cannot join both ASAP and College Discovery programs. I think this would be a good program for me because it enhances my careers. Moreover, it reduces the cost of textbooks. The most beneficial thing for me is I will have a free monthly metro card. For more information about this program, students can contact the ASAP office in rooms 110 and 113 which locate in W building. The phone number of ASAP office is (718)631-6680.
