Program of Study
Purpose
Federal regulations require that Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) be evaluated at the end of each payment period (semester)
for all students receiving financial aid. Students who fail to meet SAP standards are considered to be ineligible to receive financial aid.
Students who have been suspended from receiving financial aid due to exceeding the 150% maximum timeframe/time limit may appeal
this decision by completing the SAP Maximum Timeframe/Time Limit Appeal. Your appeal must contain a description of the extenuating
circumstances which led you to exceed the 150% limit without completing your program. Once you have reached or exceeded the
maximum allowable units attempted, CSU Channel Islands will only fund courses required to complete undergraduate, credential or
graduate program requirements.
Non-fundable cases:
In most cases, students will not be funded to finish second majors, minors, options, or courses taken for personal enrichment
or to raise their cumulative GPA.
Prerequisites for credential or graduate programs will not be funded for undergraduate students who have exceeded the
maximum timeframe/time limit for a degree unless the courses also meet general or major requirements.
An appeal must be based on extenuating circumstances that seriously impacted performance. Lack of knowledge of the SAP standards
will not be grounds for the approval of an appeal.
Examples of extenuating circumstances include:
Serious illness or injury to student that required extended recovery time or significant improvement
Death or serious illness of an immediate family member
Significant trauma in student’s life that impaired the student’s emotional and/or physical health
Other documented circumstances
PLEASE NOTE: Taking pre-requisite courses for admission into your program is not considered an extraordinary circumstance.
Appeal Requirements
Your appeal must include all of the following items. Incomplete appeals or appeals submitted without sufficient documentation will not
be reviewed as decisions cannot be made on appeals until they are complete.
Personal Statement: Required on all appeals and must be typed and signed (no electronic signatures accepted). This
statement should include a description of the extenuating circumstances that caused you to exceed the Maximum
Timeframe/Time Limit for your program (examples: illness, injury, etc.).

Appeal Requirements continued…
Completed Academic Action Plan of remaining coursework for program completion indicating the coursework needed and
term you will complete it in. Any extension of financial aid eligibility will be limited to only those courses that are required
to complete your academic plan/degree.
Appeal Guidelines
Be specific when explaining your circumstances. Lack of information will result in a delay of an appeal review, or may result in
a denial of your appeal. If there were problems in your physical or mental health that played a role in your circumstances,
please attach supporting documentation from a doctor, counselor, or hospital (if no documentation is available, be sure to
explain this in the appeal).
Do not discuss your need for financial aid in your appeal. Needing financial aid is not a valid reason for approval of an appeal.
Complete all appeal requirements listed on the appeal form. Incomplete appeals will delay decisions. If you have questions
about completing the appeal form, please contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships office.
Appeal Procedures
Submit your appeal in person or by mail to the Financial Aid & Scholarship office at CSU Channel Islands.
Completed appeals are due by Friday, September 28, 2018 for the Fall 2018 semester and by
Friday, February 22, 2019 for the Spring 2019 semester.
Appeals are evaluated within 30 business days of receipt of the completed appeal.
In order for your SAP appeal to be reviewed, you must be enrolled for the current semester at the time of appeal completion
and review.
In some instances, appeal decisions may not be finalized prior to the start of classes; you should plan on making payment
arrangements with Student Business Services (SBS) to avoid the risk of class cancellation. If you remain enrolled in your
courses once the semester begins, you will be responsible for payment of your fees regardless of whether or not your appeal
is approved.
If your appeal is approved, you will be placed on an Academic Plan for the remainder of your program. In addition, each
semester you MUST be meeting all of the SAP standards in order to continue to be eligible to receive financial aid.
Please note that filing a SAP Appeal does not guarantee continued eligibility for financial aid.
Student Statement and Signature
I understand that I am requesting an appeal for continued financial aid eligibility. The Academic Action Plan is for the required
coursework for completion of my current program. I understand that any deviation from the Academic Action Plan will result in
disqualification from receiving any further financial aid.
I understand that appeal decisions may not be made prior to the first day of classes for my next semester of enrollment; if I remain
enrolled as of the first day of classes I will be responsible for any CSUCI charges incurred. I certify that all information provided on the
form and in any attachments is complete and accurate. By signing this document, I authorize the Financial Aid & Scholarships office at
CSU Channel Islands to verify all information provided by my physician, tutor, academic advisor, counselor, etc.
