Don't Wait...Make it Happen!

WELCOME 

It's a fact: college graduates have more options. They get better jobs. They earn more to support themselves and their families. They go on to earn advanced and professional degrees. Become a college graduate. Make it Happen!

Funded by the city and Mayor Bloomberg’s Commission for Economic Opportunity, Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) emphasizes enriched academic support services, block programs, and graduation with an Associate degree within two to three years. Financial assistance is available for students who demonstrate financial need, and all students in the program receive free textbooks and are provided with laptop computers to use during their studies at LaGuardia Community College.

The LaGuardia Community College Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) is an exciting new program that will enable students to earn their Associate Degree as quickly as possible. ASAP began fall 2007 and is sponsored by the Mayor's Office of New York City.

All ASAP students enroll in a full-time (12 credits minimum) learning community, which consists of a closely “blocked” set or pair of classes, created in collaboration with academic departments and other institutional resources to serve students’ interests and scheduling needs. Departments such as academic affairs, counseling, the library, and the e-portfolio program contribute services and support to enhance ASAP students' shared learning experiences.

Day and evening learning communities are offered in the following majors: Business Administration - A.S., and Liberal Arts and Sciences - A.A.

Additionally, every two weeks, ASAP students meet in one-to-one appointments with their personal Academic Advisor to receive academic and programmatic advisement, as well as referrals to academic, personal, and career counseling resources on campus. The ASAP Job Developer assists students by providing insightful career guidance, including resume development, interview preparation, and job placement, in close connection with the LaGuardia Career Services Office.

ASAP sponsors academic enrichment workshops, such as Biology/Math Prep and Reading/Writing Skills, throughout the year to promote the academic development and success of its students. The program also provides tutoring for any course where students have a need or request a tutor. Additionally, the ASAP team actively encourages students to take advantage of the wealth of resources available throughout the College including free tutoring and writing assistance, the Honors Program, work-study opportunities, and extra-curricular activities offered through the Office of Student Life.
