Your appeal of mitigating circumstances will be reviewed by the SAP Committee in the Office of Student Financial Aid. If your appeal is approved you will regain eligibility for financial aid. Your conditions will continue for each semester until you meet the minimum standards, or fail to meet the conditions. If you fail to meet the conditions prior to meeting the minimum standard, you will once again be ineligible for financial aid.
If your appeal is approved, you will be monitored every semester for improvement and/or adherence to the terms of your probation. While on probation, you are expected to complete all of your courses with a semester GPA of at least 2.0 (for undergraduates) or 3.0 for graduates. Grades of F, W, WF, I, IP or U are considered unsatisfactory. At the conclusion of the probation term, you must be meeting the school’s SAP standard in order to qualify for further financial aid.
For helpful information to improve your academic performance, you are encouraged to use Student Success support services.
Students under certain conditions will be required to submit an Academic Plan along with the appeal. The student will be required to meet with his/her academic advisor to complete the form. An Academic Plan is used to monitor academic success. Following this plan successfully will ensure the student to meet the required standards for financial aid. The Academic Plan should include an action plan or statement of intentions for achieving academic success.
If your appeal is denied, you may submit a secondary appeal to the Office of Student Financial Aid if you are providing new information that was not considered in your original appeal.
After your appeal is received, you will be notified by mail within 30 business days or less on whether your appeal was granted or denied. Please prepare to pay tuition and fees by other means while your appeal is under review.
