Instructions
Your financial aid has been suspended because you have, or will, exceed the allowable timeframe to complete your
degree program with financial aid at CBC. Students must complete their degree program within 150% of the number of
credits required by their degree program for federal aid and within 125% for state aid. For example, if your degree
requires 90 credits to complete, you must earn the degree within 135 credits (150%) for federal aid or 113 credits
(125%) for state aid. To review these requirements go to: www.columbiabasin.edu/finaid/sap. The purpose of this
petition is to request an extension of the timeframe (quarters and credits) to complete your degree program. Your
completed petition (with all attachments) must be submitted at Hawk Central (H Building) or scanned and emailed to
financialaid@columbiabasin.edu.
Petitions must include ALL of the following (they should be attached to this form):
1) A personal statement that explains why the initial timeframe to complete your degree program was not
sufficient and why you need additional time and credits now.
2) A current and complete academic plan, signed by you and your advisor or a counselor in our Counseling Center.
You can make an appointment with a counselor by visiting the Counseling Center in the H Building or by calling
(509) 547-0511 (press 2 for Student Services).
