Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Procedure

Total withdrawal from all classes automatically terminates all Federal Title IV aid (Pell, SEOG, Perkins loans, Stafford loans, and Plus loans) and places the student on financial aid suspension (not academic suspension). Federal Title IV aid will not be reinstated until Satisfactory Progress according to the catalog is reached and/or credit hour deficiencies are completed.

Students may APPEAL the suspension of aid by completing the Suspension Appeal Application, if applicable, and including documentation for medical reasons or extenuating circumstances. The Director of Financial Aid will review all applications. After reviewing the file, the Director may place the student of Financial Aid Probation, allowing aid to be reinstated.

If the appeal does not fall under special circumstances, or documentation is not provided, the student must attend an appeal meeting to discuss the reason for their suspension. Students who file an appeal are required to attend the appeal meeting. Those who do not attend will automatically remain on Financial Aid Suspension. A letter noting the date and time of the appeal meeting will notify appealing students who are required to attend the meeting if the appeal form is turned in early. Late appeal forms may not receive a letter.
