You should submit this form only if your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status is “Max Credit Hours
Reached” or “Nearing Max Credit Hours”
Federal regulations require the Office of Financial Aid to monitor the academic progress of all students toward the
completion of a degree. The regulations stipulate that a student’s eligibility for financial aid expires when the student’s
attempted credit hours have exceeded 150% of the credit hours required for their degree. Multiple changes in major
and/or excessive grades of E, I, N or W are not adequate reasons for exceeding the Maximum Credit Hour requirement
and appeals submitted for these reasons alone cannot be approved.
Please check a category, submit the required documentation, and bring this signed form to the Office of Financial Aid for
review. The Review Committee will assess the information and notify you if your appeal has been approved or denied
through your EMU E-Mail account. Appeals submitted without the required documentation will be denied.
