Per federal regulations, if you are not making satisfactory academic progress, you may appeal to Financial Aid and

Scholarships, if you have special or extenuating circumstances.

Specifically, you must provide:

 A written description of the extenuating circumstance(s) - which must have occurred during the periods of poor

academic performance

 An explanation of why the circumstance prevented you from making SAP

 Supporting documentation for each extenuating circumstance cited

 Specific explanation of what has changed in your situation that will allow you to meet the SAP requirements now

 Supporting documentation of the change in your situation

In reviewing appeals, we evaluate your entire academic history, not just the most recent semester or year. You should

review your transcript to identify and address all semesters (at any school) of poor academic performance (i.e., withdrawals,

dropped courses and poor grades) and provide as much documentation of extenuating circumstances as possible. Appeals

submitted without supporting documentation may be denied.

Common examples of special circumstances are:

 Illness, injury or accident experienced by you or someone significant in your life.

 Documentation: physician’s statement, police report or other documentation from a professional third party who

can confirm the incident(s).

 Death of a significant person in your life.

 Documentation: Copy of obituary or death certificate.

 Divorce or other personal situations with spouse, family or roommates that may affect academics.

 Documentation: Attorney’s letter, divorce decree, restraining order, police report, letter from professional

counselor or other correspondence with professionals involved in the situation.

 Employment issues that may have affected academics.

 Documentation: statement from employer of change in employment/hours/shifts or payroll statements that can

confirm change.

 Previously undiagnosed medical condition that affected academics.

 Documentation: Medical professional’s letter or letter from Office of Disability Services.

Note: For courses under academic bankruptcy/amnesty, a written description and supporting documentation must also be

provided.
