Federal regulations require that a student receiving financial aid make satisfactory academic progress in
accordance with the standards set by the college and federal government. Students who fail to meet
SAP standards can appeal the financial aid suspension. Please complete the enclosed appeal form and
student statement. When completed, you will need to make an appointment with your Academic
Counselor for counseling and to create an individual Academic Progress Plan.
