BRCC Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal: 2020-2021
Instructions:
Federal regulations state that students may only be allowed to continue receiving financial aid if they are making satisfactory progress toward
the completion of their academic program. This is reviewed by measuring each student’s GPA, rate of completion of their courses, and
timeframe of completion of their program. You may find the full SAP policy: SAP Policy.
You may use this form to appeal for reinstatement of your financial aid eligibility under a probationary set of guidelines referred to as an
“Academic Plan.” Appeals are considered if you were unable to meet the minimum requirements due to an unusual circumstance beyond your
control. SUBMISSION OF THIS APPEAL DOES NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL. A message will be placed in your message center of the appeals
committee’s decision. You will receive an email to your VCCS email to notify you once the message has been sent.
Please complete this form in its entirety. Incomplete forms will be returned unprocessed. If you do not know your Student ID number,
instructions for looking it up can be found: ID#. This form must be submitted no later than the last day to add classes for each enrollment
period. Please refer to the college catalog for the last day to add courses for your enrollment period.
Late submissions will be considered for the following semester.
Appeals without documentation will not be considered.
