Appeals of Financial Aid Suspension
A student has the right to appeal the suspension of financial aid if the student feels that the requirements of the satisfactory academic progress were met and that the suspension of aid is inappropriate, or if the student believes that undue hardship (death of a relative, injury or illness, or similar special circumstances) directly affected academic performance.
To appeal the suspension of financial aid, the student must submit a letter of appeal, along with any relevant supporting documentation, to the director of financial aid. If the appeal is granted, the student will be placed on financial aid probation and will be given one subsequent term of enrollment to meet the minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements. If the appeal is denied, the student will be ineligible to receive Title IV aid until the academic requirements are met.
