Review and Appeal Process

Each student will be reviewed according to the criteria at the end of spring semester every year. If a student does not meet all three criteria they will be placed on “Financial Aid Probation.” The student may continue to receive financial aid while on probation. At the end of the following fall semester those students on probation will be reviewed. If the student does not attain satisfactory academic progress at that time the student will be placed on ‘financial aid suspension’.

No additional financial aid will be awarded until the student regains eligibility. The student will be allowed a written appeal. Included in the appeal must be an educational plan that is outlined on how they will meet expectations and explanation of mitigating circumstances of what caused the student to not meet the Satisfactory Academic requirements. The student will have a time period in which to complete the appeal process. No appeals will be accepted after the deadline date.

If a student’s appeal is approved the student will be allowed to continue on probation for the next semester and will be reviewed once again at the end of the probation period. Earned A,B,C,D and P grades are considered hours earned. Incompletes, and withdrawals are not considered hours earned. Audits, proficiency tests and non-credit courses are not included in attempted hours.
