Financial Aid Appeals

Within five (5) calendar days after notification, students for whom financial aid eligibility has been suspended have the right to petition the Financial Aid Appeals Committee for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. Students must submit to the Financial Aid Office a completed/signed Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension form along with supportive documentation and include a letter of explanation describing the basis for the appeal (i.e., death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or other special circumstances). The letter should also include an explanation of what has changed that would allow the student to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress during the next semester of enrollment. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will evaluate each appeal on a case-by-case basis.
