Review Process
Appeal Decision Notification
A student, who submits a satisfactory academic progress appeal, will be notified via email to the
Radford University email, by the financial aid office about the appeal decision as soon as possible. The
review process does not begin until all documents are submitted. Review can take up to two weeks to
complete, once all documents are received. Students are responsible for making payment arrangements
for all account charges while awaiting their appeal decision. Please refer to the deadlines outlined above
as they relate to payment deadlines.
Approved Appeal
If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on a Financial Aid Progress Plan for a semester.
The progress plan will outline conditions that must be achieved in order for the student to begin working
towards making satisfactory academic progress. The progress plan may be stricter than the normal SAP
standards or University academic standards. Students who sign and accept the progress plan will be
required to meet the conditions of the plan in order to be considered for aid for future semesters.
Accepted progress plan conditions supersede all other SAP regulations.
Denied Appeal
Decisions that are made by the Appeal Review Committee are final. If the appeal is denied the student may
pay their charges out of pocket or make monthly payments using the payment plan.

my account charges.
