Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeals

If you have extenuating circumstances that prevented you from meeting the minimum SAP requirements, you may appeal for the reinstatement of your financial aid eligibility.

This form cannot be used to apply for summer 2024 financial aid or for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeals.
