Appeals

Students who do not meet the renewal requirements for institutional aid are given one probationary semester to meet the renewal requirements for their aid program. A Scholarship probation notice will be sent to students failing to meet renewal requirements. Students on scholarship probation are not eligible for the appeals process as no aid is lost during this time.

At the end of the probationary semester, your cumulative academic achievements will be reviewed again, at which time you will be notified of your aid eligibility. Students who fail to meet eligibility requirements at this time will be sent a letter notifying them of the loss of scholarship eligibility.

Students may appeal if extenuating circumstances (such as illness or accident) apply. A written appeal must be made to the director of financial aid within 30 days of the date of written notice of ineligibility. The appeal must include a description of the circumstances. Additional documentation will be considered, though not required. Please refer to the notice sent to you regarding loss of aid for more specific information.
