FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS APPEAL FORM
Federal regulations require a student to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards which entails earning a
minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average and completing a minimum 67% of the course work attempted. Because
you have not met one or both of these standards, this appeal form is required. Follow the instructions carefully, as
failure to do so will result in the appeal being denied.
