FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS APPEAL FORM

Students who are not meeting the satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy may appeal for

reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. A semester is considered unsuccessful when the GPA is

below a 2.0 and/or the student was not able to complete more than 67% of the courses

registered for. In addition, if the student exceeds 150% of the maximum credits for the enrolled

program of study he/she is also considered to be making unsatisfactory academic progress. An

appeal can be submitted if a student’s failure to make satisfactory academic progress is based

upon events beyond their control, or a student who was unsatisfactory previously has

successfully completed a minimum of six credits, with a C or better, and paid for those courses

out of their own financial resources. However, please remember that submission of this appeal

form does not guarantee a favorable change in the financial aid eligibility or award(s).

Examples of reasons which are considered suitable justification for appeals:

 Illness or Injury which prevented attendance in class

 Death of Family Member

 Illness of Family Member which prevented attendance in class

 Childcare

 Required Court Dates

 Transportation Issues

 Unavoidable Work Conflict

 More than thirty (30) Transferred Credits or Additional Degree (please attach proof that a

program was completed elsewhere; also, please explain what life circumstances have

prompted the student to pursue this new program)

 Other Unavoidable Events and Third party documentation of event on organization

letterhead (i.e. licensed counselor, social worker, pastor, teacher—no family members)

 Successfully completed a minimum of six credits with a C or better using personal

financial resources.

Examples of reasons which are not considered suitable justification for appeals:

 I did not take school seriously; I made mistakes and was not prepared

 I attended college many years ago and have come back recently.

 I changed majors a lot and did not know what I wanted to do.

 I did not realize how much all my withdrawals would hurt my financial aid.
