A. Satisfactory Academic Progress Suspension Appeal:
Students who have been on Warning or Probation and are not meeting GPA/Pace requirements as stated in the
Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy are placed on Financial Aid Suspension. You have the right to appeal
your financial aid suspension if you feel there were extenuating circumstances in your life that hindered your academic
performance such as Unusual Enrollment History (UEH), personal physical health or mental health issue,
family/relationship crises, job loss, death of your parent, spouse, sibling, child, or other immediate family member, or
recent academic success at another college or university. Your appeal will be reviewed by a Committee. The
notification of the Committee’s decision will be communicated through your CASC email account. If you do not
currently have a CASC email account, the decision will be emailed to the email address or mailed to the address on file.
NOTE: Extenuating circumstances do not include lack of funds, employment schedule, marital status, child care,
transportation, failure to understand or adhere to college policy, or dissatisfaction with an instructor or course.
You MUST attach a signed, TYPED statement, which MUST include your responses to ALL of the following questions:
1) Why have you been placed on Financial Aid Suspension?
Explain if Unusual Enrollment History (UEH) and/or not meeting GPA/Pace requirements.
2) Why have you failed to make satisfactory academic progress?
Explain in detail and provide supporting documentation such as doctor’s statement, court records, death
certificates, or unemployment verification. Be sure to address the extenuating circumstances that have affected you
in both your most recent and your previous terms of enrollment.
3) What has changed that will allow you to make satisfactory academic progress for your next term of enrollment?
Explain in detail.
You must include the Degree Evaluation for Financial Aid Suspension Appeal form, completed and signed by the
Admissions Office or the Enrollment Center before your appeal will be considered complete.
I understand that, should this appeal be granted, I may be placed on financial aid probation or on an academic plan with
the receipt of financial aid for subsequent semesters contingent upon my academic performance during the
probationary or academic plan period. I understand that the Committee’s decision is final.
B. Satisfactory Academic Progress Suspension Review:
You MUST attach a signed, TYPED statement, and a CASC transcript showing that you are meeting the GPA/Pace
requirements of the SAP Policy to be removed from Suspension without appealing to the Financial Aid Committee.
My signature certifies that everything I have stated is true to the best of my knowledge. Should the committee find
anything provided in support of my appeal to be inaccurate, I understand that my appeal will be denied.
