Federal regulations require financial aid recipients to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in
accordance with LDCC’s Financial Aid SAP Policy. SAP includes cumulative grade point average (GPA),
completion rate (67%), and maximum credits allowed that a student must meet in order to be eligible for federal
financial aid. For more information regarding the College’s SAP Policy, go to www.ladelta.edu
, then click on
Students, Financial Aid, & SAP to review the LDCC SAP Policy. You may also request a paper version by
visiting the Office of Financial Aid at your respective campus.
Submitting this form does not guarantee reinstatement of financial aid. The student is responsible for any
charges incurred during periods of ineligibility. You will be notified via postal mail and in LOLA, the outcome of
your appeal decision within 10-15 business days after the receipt and review of the appeal. PLEASE NOTE:
The SAP Appeals Committee may deny your appeal request. You are allowed to submit three (3) appeal
requests while attending LDCC. However, appeals can only be made once per payment period. This does not
mean one or either of these requests will be approved.
