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 Satisfactory Academic Progress Suspension. You have the right to appeal your SAP suspension if you feel there were extenuating circumstances in your life that hindered your academic performance such as 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 BOTH of the following questions:

1)  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.

2)  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 Satisfactory Academic Progress Suspension Appeal form, completed and signed by the Admissions Office 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.

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.
