Finger Lakes Community College / October 10, 2025
Finger Lakes Community College recently marked the first year of its fully scaled SUNY Advancing Success in Associate Pathways (ASAP) program, which is showing early signs of helping students overcome barriers to education.
The program supports students pursuing associate degrees. Eligible students have access to resources and support to keep them on track toward a degree. This includes funding to cover textbooks, groceries, transportation, and childcare, as well as comprehensive personalized advisement, academic support, and career development.
FLCC currently has 150 students enrolled in the ASAP program. It launched the program spring 2024 with 35 students and expanded to 150 students in fall 2024.
Initial data shows that ASAP students are more likely to stay in school than the general population:
75.2 percent of all FLCC’s matriculated students were retained from fall 2024 to spring 2025
83.9 percent of students enrolled in the ASAP program were retained from fall 2024 to spring 2025
