SAP Appeals
Students who fail to make satisfactory academic progress and
are suspended from Academic/Financial Aid eligibility have the right to appeal
based on unusual or extenuating circumstances.
If an appeal is approved based on the appeal process below, the student
will retain Academic/Financial Aid eligibility under an appeal status and will
be placed on Probation.
A. A
suspended student has the right to appeal. If the student is dissatisfied with
the committee's decision, the student may appeal to the Vice President of Academics.
Decisions by the Vice President of Academics are final.
B. Students
suspended from Academic/Financial Aid for academic progress have the right to
appeal based on unusual or extenuating circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances
include, but are not limited to: medical issues, death of an immediate family
member, or other unique circumstances. To appeal, the student is required to
contact the student services office at the campus they are attending.
C. Students
who successfully appeal will be readmitted on probation.
D. Students
who are on probation and do not meet the 2.5 GPA and 75% completion during the
probationary term are suspended from the college for one full calendar year.
E. Students
who are suspended for one calendar year are required to go through the appeals
process again to return to the college.
F. If a
student has completed in excess of 150% of maximum credits needed for
attainment of chosen degree or certificate (including credits transferred),
they are no longer eligible for financial aid.
Reinstatement
If the student's appeal is approved, financial aid awards
will be reinstated with the provisions as determined by the committee. Students who have been suspended may regain
their eligibility only through the institution's appeal process or when they
are again meeting the institution's financial aid Satisfactory Academic
Progress standards. Neither paying for their own classes nor sitting out a
period of time is sufficient in and of itself to reestablish a student's
financial aid eligibility.
