Students who have failed to meet all requirements of the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy due to documented extenuating circumstances may qualify to submit a financial aid suspension appeal. An appeal represents a formal request to have one’s loss of financial aid eligibility re-evaluated based on unusual circumstances that resulted in unsatisfactory academic performance. The SAP Appeal Committee will evaluate each appeal on a case-by-case basis.

Examples of Extenuating Circumstances

• Severe illness/injury to self or immediate family member
• Death of an immediate family member
• Other mitigating circumstances
• Separation/divorce for self or parents
• Military reassignment

If you qualify for a financial aid suspension appeal, contact the Financial Aid and Student Employment Office for a financial aid suspension appeal coversheet to begin the process.
