Unless an appeal is granted, a student can regain financial eligibility only by taking action that brings him/her into compliance with both the qualitative and quantitative components of the CCSNH institution’s satisfactory academic progress policy. Neither paying for one’s own classes nor sitting out a semester affects a student’s SAP standing, so neither is sufficient to re-establish financial aid eligibility.
If a financial aid recipient believes he/she is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress standards then he/she can request to have his/her SAP standing reviewed upon completion of the semester. If the student is found to be meeting both the qualitative and quantitative components of the SAP policy and to not have exceeded maximum time frame, then his/her status will be updated to reflect he/she is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress standards, and the student will be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid the next semester.
