What to do if Your Financial Aid is Terminated
If your financial aid is terminated due to failure
to maintain Satisfactory Academic
Progress and you feel that extraordinary circumstances justify
continued aid, there are two options available to you:
(a) you
may file an appeal
or
(b) you may reestablish eligibility
 |
You
may appeal the termination by petitioning the Financial
Aid Office. Your circumstances must be extremely serious,
beyond your control and documentable. |
An Appeal Form
is available on-line or in the Financial
Aid Office. Print and complete this form, attach it to
your personal letter with appropriate documentation and submit it to
the Financial Aid Office. You may mail, fax, or drop off your appeal
form.
If
you have an appeal pending, you should plan on paying for your
tuition/fees/books/supplies. If you are reinstated, your grant
and loan checks may be released to you after your file has been
reviewed and re-processed for available funds.
| Examples
of circumstances which would warrant an appeal: |
- Death
in the immediate family
- Hospitalization
or illness which require doctor's care
- Separation,
divorce or custody issues
- Disasters
(flood, fire, car accident, etc.)
- Other
extenuating, documentable circumstances
| Examples of circumstances which would NOT warrant
an appeal: |
- Paid
for the classes yourself
- Withdrew
so it would not effect your GPA
- Instructor/Advisor
told you that you didn't need the class
- Not
liking the instructor's teaching style
 |
If
your appeal is denied or if you choose not to appeal,
you may reestablish eligibility by successfully completing
one quarter with credits equal to the number
of credits you are deficient. Your GPA must
be 2.0 or better for the number of required credits that
you complete using your own resources. |
A
Reinstatement
Form must be submitted after this quarter to have
your aid reinstated. There is an automatic loss of financial
aid eligibility and possible repayment of any funds already
received during a quarter in which no credits were completed.
To re-establish aid eligibility, you must first repay any amount
owed. REPAYMENTS ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE!
