The plan should realistically allow you to complete the program within the 12-semester maximum timeframe (15 semesters for ARCH students.

If your appeal is approved, your aid will be reinstated for only one payment period. Following this payment period your aid will be reinstated if you meet the Academic Plan or pass the regular SAP standards.
