Reinstatement of Aid Eligibility (Appeal Procedures)

If the student feels there were circumstances beyond their control that affected their academic performance, they may appeal the SAP Suspension. An appeal is a written statement from the student, accompanied by supporting documentation, explaining their circumstances and plans for success in future semesters. Other support documentation could include:

• A physician who can document that an illness or accident prevented the student from successfully completing their studies and that the student is now able to resume their studies successfully.
• A physician/clergy/counselor who can verify that the death or life-threatening illness of an immediate family member prevented the student from successfully completing their course work and the family circumstance is no longer applicable.
• An academic advisor or an employer, childcare provider, etc., who knows about circumstances beyond the student’s control that prevented the completion of course work and these circumstances have been resolved.
