Regaining Eligibility

A student may regain eligibility for financial aid by:

• Paying for expenses related to enrollment from personal resources until the student has satisfied the minimum standards of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.
• Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled for six (6) or more hours must enroll for six (6) or more hours and meet the minimum requirements as stated above.
• Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled less than six (6) hours may enroll for less than six (6) hours and complete all hours with a 2.0 or better to remove the financial aid suspension status; however, their status will only improve to financial aid warning.
• Students who had extenuating circumstances for not maintaining SAP, may appeal the suspension status by filing a written appeal with Financial Aid Services within two (2) weeks from the date the email is sent to the student notifying them of the status for those using the Hazlewood Act Exemption. The time frame for filing an appeal will be strictly enforced.
• The student automatically waives their right to appeal if they fail to submit documentation within two (2) weeks. However, if the student has extenuating circumstances for failing to submit an appeal within the two (2) weeks, the student must be given permission by Financial Aid Services to submit an appeal.
