Effective July 1, 2011, federal financial aid regulations are changing related to satisfactory academic progress (SAP) which allows you to continue to receive financial aid. The new policy discontinues the probationary period and any student who is found to be out of compliance will have their future financial aid suspended or not awarded. The financial aid office will contact students via your college email and a written correspondence will also be sent to students who are out of federal compliance.  If you are affected because your SAP has dropped below an acceptable level, you will have 14 days from notification to appeal this decision if you feel you have extenuating circumstances that impacted your ability to meet SAP. Pay attention to all e-mails, message center notifications, and letters sent to you. Take responsibility to be informed.

It is important for you to review this policy on your college financial aid website. If you have questions regarding the policy, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
