Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial
Aid
Appeal/Academic
Plan
An academic plan is required to appeal the suspension of your financial aid. Since you failed to meet one or
more of Great Bay Community College’s standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid (SAPFA),
you are required to submit this appeal and plan to the Office of Financial Aid.
Your appeal will be given favorable consideration if you explain and document special circumstances impacting
your ability to successfully complete your coursework. Special circumstances include, but are not limited to: illness
or accident, a family death or emergency, a work-related schedule change or emergency, military deployment, loss
of child care or a previously undiagnosed learning disability. Documentation is required, and you must attach the
documentation to this appeal form.
You may also use this form to explain why you have a very high number of attempted cumulative credits but an
incomplete current degree or certificate (change of major, a dual major, dual degree plan, etc.)
