OTE: According to the United States Department of Education, all schools are required to follow federal, state and institutional
satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policies when awarding financial aid. If circumstances outside of the student’s control prohibit
attendance and/or successful completion of classes and a student is no longer eligible for financial aid due to failure to meet SAP
(maintaining a cumulative 2.0 grade point average and successfully completing 66.67% of all credit hours attempted), then the student
may appeal the suspension in order to be considered for financial aid.
