Regaining Eligibility Procedures
Students who are no longer eligible for aid because of GPA, Completion Rate, Maximum Time Frame or a combination thereof, may appeal their status if there are extenuating circumstances with supporting documentation. The SAP Appeal Process has a committee who reviews the appeal and evaluates documentation. The results will be communicated to the student via college student email.
If an SAP Appeal is approved, reinstatement of aid will remain in effect for as long as the student meets the terms of the appeal as described in the approved Plan-of-Action.
Individual Plan-of-Actions can include restriction of aid eligibility, registered credit hours, and other conditions.
If SAP Appeal is denied, students will not be eligible for federal or state financial aid until minimum SAP standards are met: Cumulative 67% Completion Rate and 2.0 GPA.
SAP status does not transfer to other colleges.
What Is Included in Determining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
All credit hours attempted, including transfer credit, are to be considered in computing Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Standards, even during periods when the student was not an aid recipient.
