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. Students who fail to meet eligibility requirements at this time will be sent an email notification regarding 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.

UT scholarships may be reinstated when students meet the eligibility requirements for renewal. Students should contact their financial aid counselor to request reinstatement of their original award when this happens. Awards are reinstated at their original awarded amount, provide all other eligibility requirements are met.
