SAP Appeal Forms

Availability and Deadlines

Students with a Financial Aid Disqualification status on Campus Connection must adhere to the following dates when submitting an appeal to request reinstatement of financial aid eligibility:

  • 2026 Spring Semester: Deadline was February 6, 2026

If unforeseen extenuating circumstances prevented you from submitting your appeal by February 6th, you may request a late appeal until March 13th by emailing kristie.myers@ndsu.edu or julie.flakker@ndsu.edu with the following information:

  • Your name
  • Your student ID number
  • The specific reason you were not able to meet the February 6th appeal deadline date

Students with an INFO status on Campus Connection are nearing the maximum attempted credit limit but are not yet on Financial Aid Disqualification. They may submit a Maximum Attempted Credits/Time Frame Appeal Form any time prior to the last two weeks of the semester. An INFO status does not need to be appealed if the student will graduate within one semester.

Students deficient in more than one area of SAP, for example, exceeding the maximum attempted credits/time frame AND another disqualifying factor like low GPA or 67% successful completion of credits, must submit BOTH appeal forms.

Financial Aid Disqualification Appeal Form

Submit this appeal form if you have been disqualified from financial aid for:

  • Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) less than 2.0 (or 3.0 for graduate students)
  • Successful completion of attempted credits less than 67%

Maximum Attempted Credits / Time Frame Appeal

Complete this appeal form if either status below applies:

  • Financial Aid Disqualification due to exceeding the maximum attempted credits/time frame limit.
  • Financial Aid INFO status for nearing the maximum attempted credits/time frame limit.
