Appeals

Any student on SAP suspension may appeal to the SAP Appeals Committee. An appeal for reinstatement must be based on specific extenuating circumstances. Examples may include but are not limited to health reasons, family reasons, or personal reasons. The appeal statement of the student should explain the extenuating circumstances. Documentation supporting the extenuating circumstances must be submitted. Documentation may include one or more of the following: signed statement from a physician on letterhead, death certificate or newspaper obituary, signed statement from employer on letterhead, etc. The appeal form and procedures may be obtained on the CTC website under “Quicklinks”, “Financial Aid”, and then “Financial Aid Forms.”

The deadline for submitting the appeal for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility is the MIDTERM OF THE SEMESTER following suspension notification. The student will be placed on SAP probation for the following term if reinstated. SAP probation is good for one term only. The student is expected to be making SAP at the end of that term or be successfully following an academic plan designed to ensure the student will be able to meet SAP by a specific point in time. The academic plan is developed by Student Support Services.

Appeals are reviewed by the SAP Appeals Committee. The decision of the SAP Appeals Committee is final and cannot be appealed further. Students will be notified of the decision of the SAP Appeals Committee in writing.

In most cases, a student may appeal SAP suspension only one time at CTC.

To regain eligibility for financial aid (all financial aid), a student must meet the required standards.
