Appeals Process

A student who fails to establish good academic standing or satisfactory academic progress (SAP) becomes ineligible for financial aid. If, the student has mitigating circumstances beyond his/her control that affected the ability to meet SAP, the student may appeal the loss of his/her eligibilty.

Some examples of the allowances that law may make for mitigating circumstances are:

• Student becomes extremly ill or severly injured (a statement from physician on official letterhead verifying illness with aligning dates included. DO NOT SUBMIT BILLS.)

• An immediate family member of student dies ( must provide death certificate or obituary.)
