Students who are denied federal and/or state financial aid for failure to meet the SAP standards are advised by the Office of Student Financial Aid of their right to appeal the decision.  Students may appeal the decision in writing to the Office of Student Financial Aid if they had extenuating circumstances that led to their unsatisfactory academic progress.  The student will be notified in writing of the decision.  If the student is not satisfied with the decision, the student can request that their appeal be renewed by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.  The Chair of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee will notify the student in writing of the decision.

Any student whose financial aid has been terminated may reestablish satisfactory academic progress by any of the following methods:

• Enroll in a course or courses for Summer I and/or Summer II
• Repeat courses in which a grade of F was earned
• Satisfy requirements for all incomplete grades

Appeal Procedure

To appeal for the reinstatement of financial aid eligibility, students should complete and submit the Satisfactory Academic Progress appeal form to the Student Financial Aid Office.  A letter from the student documenting the extenuating circumstances (i.e. personal illness, injury, medical problems, undue hardship, death of parent or immediate family member, or other special circumstances) that may have prevented the student from performing at his or her academic best should accompany the Satisfactory Academic Progress appeal form.

Students will be notified in writing of the appeal decision.  If an appeal is approved, the student must sigh a Satisfactory Academic Progress Action Plan with the Office of Student Financial Aid, which indicates the stipulation of the appeal.  Students who are granted an appeal and do not meet the requirements indicated on the action plan are placed on financial aid suspension until satisfactory academic progress is achieved.  Students may only be granted two appeal approvals during their enrollment at the University.
