Right to Appeal

If there were extenuating circumstances that prevented you from meeting the standards of our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, then you have a right to file an appeal with the Committee for Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals. This appeal must be a detailed appeal letter and MUST include the following:

The reasons why you did not meet satisfactory academic progress, and

The dates and time periods involved, and

An explanation of how your situation has changed and how these changes will allow you to make satisfactory academic progress at the next evaluation.

The appeal may not be based upon the need for financial aid assistance or the lack of knowledge that the financial aid assistance was in jeopardy. A student may appeal more than once if the student is placed on SAP suspension more than once. However, the basis for the subsequent appeal must be a substantially different circumstance from the prior appeal.

Appeals may be mailed to:
