SAP Appeal Forms
Availability and Deadlines
Students with a Financial Aid Disqualification status on Campus Connection for deficiencies in GPA, 67% completion, or maximum attempted credits/time frame must adhere to the following deadline dates when submitting an appeal for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility:
- 2026 Summer Semester: July 10
- 2026 Fall Semester: September 18
- If you are NOT enrolled in the 2026 summer semester, you may submit the Financial Aid Disqualification Appeal Form for the 2026 fall semester now.
- If you ARE enrolled in the 2026 summer semester, and wish to appeal for the 2026 fall semester, you may do so after August 7th.
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%
