Appealing Loss of Aid

The college is required to review Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as the end of each quarter. Students who do not make SAP, may receive a warning or they’re aid may be cancelled.

Use this chart to understand when students receive a Warning and when aid is Cancelled

What does it mean to complete a credit?

You complete a credit when you receive a grade that includes:

• 0.7 through 4.0
• S - satisfactory

You do not complete a credit if you receive a grade that includes:

• W – official withdrawal
• V – unofficial withdrawal
• U – unsatisfactory
• N – Audit
• I - incomplete

Deadline for Appeals: Files turned in by the 1st day of the quarter are reviewed with priority status. All appeals are reviewed in the order that we receive them.

• If you need financial support for a particular academic term, you must submit your Appeal at least one week before the quarter ends.  Appeals submitted after this date will not apply for quarters that have ended.

If we determine you are not eligible for aid, we cannot reinstate it, regardless of the reason you were unable to meet the SAP requirements. Federal and state regulations do not allow us to offer aid to students who does not meet the minimum eligibility requirements.
