Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal
Name: Chemeketa ID#: K _
Degree or certificate you are currently seeking at Chemeketa:
All appeal requests must be completed in full and signed. The decision on your appeal will be
sent to your My Chemeketa email, or you can check your Financial Aid Academic Progress
status on your My Chemeketa.
It may take several weeks for your appeal to be reviewed. If you are not notified of your
financial aid appeal status by the “last day to drop and receive a refund”, you should consider
dropping your classes for that term if you are unable to pay tuition from your own resources.
Lack of knowledge of the financial aid SAP standards is NOT acceptable grounds for an
appeal. Appeal approval is not automatic.
You must fully explain the circumstances that prevented you from meeting SAP requirements
by addressing all terms you did not pass 100% of the credits you attempted and/or received a
cumulative GPA below 2.0.
Documentation Requirements: You must include documentation for any circumstance that
can be reasonably documented. The documentation must coincide with the term(s) you
completed less than 100% of the credits you attempted and/or your cumulative GPA was
below 2.0. If you do not have documentation of your circumstance, you must explain why.
Examples of documentation are statements from health care providers, crisis counselors or
social workers, police reports, obituaries, and/or court reports. In most cases, notes from
family members or friends are not considered adequate documentation.
If your appeal is denied you are responsible for any unpaid tuition and fees.
