Contact: Financial Aid

A student whose assistance is terminated in accordance with this policy may appeal the termination to the Financial Aid Committee. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Services at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the semester in which financial aid is requested unless termination of aid occurs between fall and spring semesters. In that event the appeal must be submitted in writing on or before the first day of the spring semester.

The appeal must provide an explanation for failure to make standards of satisfactory academic progress as defined by this policy and indicate what factors have changed that will allow the student to make standards of satisfactory academic progress at the next evaluation. The committee will notify the student of its decision.
