Can I appeal my Financial Aid Suspension status?

Students placed on Financial Aid Suspension status and have had their financial aid cancelled have the right to appeal their status. The appeal should include:

1. A Request for Reinstatement of Financial Aid form.
   
   
2. A statement in the student’s own words explaining why the student failed to achieve the required credits, required GPA, and/or pace.
   
   
3. A description of the specific actions the student has taken or will take to recover the failed or withdrawn courses or missing credits.
   
   
4. A description of the specific actions the student will take or has taken to prevent the situation from reoccurring.
   
   
5. Depending on the circumstances, any supporting materials that may be helpful for the appeal.

Students who successfully appeal their suspension status may have their aid reinstated for one semester. During this probationary semester, students must meet all Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements and/or follow their approved education plan in order to continue to receive aid beyond the probationary semester.
