Policy VI.6001.A, Financial Aid

Procedures

Students who have been suspended from receiving financial aid due to a low GPA and/or Pass Rate Component may regain eligibility by:

• Enrolling at his/her own expense and bringing himself/herself into compliance with the requirements, or
• Filing an appeal with the Campus Financial Aid Services Office prior to the middle of the semester.

A student who has exceeded the maximum time frame component must file an appeal to be able to receive consideration for financial aid.

The appeal for all Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) components must be in writing and supporting documentation regarding special circumstances must be provided. Appeals are considered for extenuating circumstances such as injury, illness and death in the immediate family or undue hardship. If an appeal is approved, the student is placed on Financial Aid Probation for the term listed in the appeal. If an appeal is denied, the student may file a written request to meet with the Appeal Committee, which responds to all appeals in writing.  For more detailed information about the appeal process, refer to the Financial Aid sections found in the College Catalog or the College website.
