Other Appeals

I have been told I’ve lost my eligibility to receive financial aid. How can I appeal?
If you have extenuating circumstances, you may submit an appeal to have your financial aid SAP appeal reviewed and if approved, placed on a probationary status. A communication will have been sent to your Workday inbox which details the process of submitting an appeal. (Please note, if you have not applied for financial aid and believe you have grounds for an appeal, we encourage you to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and also reach out to a Financial Aid advisor about requesting a SAP appeal emailed to your Workday inbox).
