Students who have lost their eligibility for financial aid due to their GPA or completion rate may request that their eligibility be reinstated once they have brought their averages into compliance with minimum standards. Students who have mitigating circumstances which prevented them from meeting the minimum standards may appeal their termination of eligibility by writing to the financial aid officer. Conditions for reinstatement of aid will be determined by the financial aid officer on an individual basis and may include one or more semesters of satisfactory progress funded by the student.

 Students whose appeals have been denied by the financial aid officer have the right to pursue final appeal through the Student Affairs Committee. This appeal must be in writing to the dean of student development and will require an appearance before the committee.

 If any case arises not specifically covered by this policy that is considered an abuse of the financial aid program, the student may be placed on financial aid probation or have eligibility for financial aid terminated by the financial aid officer. If such an occasion arises, the student will be notified in writing. The student will have the right to appeal to the Student Affairs Committee. The Student Grievance Procedure is included in the student handbook.
