There are times when circumstances in life affect your academic progress. Perhaps there have been changes in health for you or a family member or a change in a work schedule, or other events that have directly impacted on your attendance or grades. When those situations arise, the Academic Appeals Process is in place for you. It gives you the chance to request that an exception be made to an academic policy or procedure at LaGuardia.

The first comprehensive governance plan for Fiorello H. LaGuardia Community College was created in 1978 with the goal of translating into a practical form the ideals and mission of the college, built around a core belief in making the best of higher education and professional opportunity available to all those who seek them.

The principles embodied in the governance plan are: governance of the College is participatory, shared among the faculty, the staff, the alumni, the students, and the administration; the governance body provides an arena for the voices of elected representatives of all constituencies to be heard; the leadership of the governance body is elected by its members.

The Student Technology Fee was established at LaGuardia Community College in 2002; pursuant to the February 25, 2002 C.U.N.Y board resolution 4(a). This resolution approved the establishment of a technology fee which consists of $100 per semester for full-time students, and $50 per semester for part-time students. The college will seek to improve computer services for students and faculty with the revenue from this fee. In exceptional cases of financial hardship, the college may waive the technology fee for individual students.
