If a student has lost financial aid eligibility, the student may submit a written appeal with supporting documentation to the Director of Financial Aid petitioning for reconsideration of eligibility for financial aid based on extenuating circumstances.

The appeal must specify all of the following information:

  1. The extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control that led to the failure to meet SAP (i.e., death, illness);
  2. What has changed in the student’s situation to resolve the issue(s) that caused the academic or progress deficit or progress; and
  3. That the issue(s) will not affect their performance in the future.

Once the student provides all of the above required information, the Director of Financial Aid will review the appeal to determine the validity and reasonableness of the appeal and if students can reasonably be expected to return to a good SAP standing by the end of the next term or within the terms of an academic plan.
