Appeal for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility
To receive financial aid (including grants, loans and federal work-study), students must meet all of the following
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards: maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better, complete at
least 67% of all attempted credits, and complete your program of study before you have attempted more than 150% of the
program length (ex: 90 credits for a 60 credit program). Financial aid is suspended when a student does not meet all of
these requirements. In addition, financial aid can be re-suspended if a student completely withdrew from all attempted
courses or violated the conditions of probation.

The Financial Aid office acknowledges there may be mitigating circumstances that could have prevented the student from
meeting the minimum academic requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Students may appeal this
suspension by submitting this form and completing the following steps:
Step One – Transcripts
All official transcripts from previously attended
institutions must
be received and evaluated by the
Registrar before this appeal can be reviewed. Your
FAFSA for the current school year must also be in
our database.
Step Two - Program Evaluation
Log in to MyAACC at http://portal.aacc.edu/ , click
on the ''Self Services'' tab, and choose ''Credit
Students''.
Under the ''Academic Profile'' section, choose
“Evaluate Program Progress”.
Print out the Program Evaluation and confirm your
current program of study is correct. You will need to
submit the evaluation with this appeal form.
Step Three - Academic Success Plan
If requested, schedule an appointment with an
academic advisor to complete and sign an Academic
Success Plan. You need a plan on file with the
financial aid office. If you change your major, you
will need to submit an updated Academic Success
Plan.
Step Four - Documentation
Provide documentation of the mitigating
circumstance(s) that prevented you from meeting the
minimum SAP standards. Mitigating circumstances
and documentation may include:
1. Death of a family member- Copy of Obituary

immediate family member - Copy of police
report, third party professional statement, or

Letter from employer confirming that job
requirements changed after the start of the term
in which SAP was violated
