Appeals

Students removed from financial aid can appeal that decision to the Scholarship Committee. The appeal must be prepared in writing and be accompanied by appropriate supporting documents.

Reasons that may be acceptable for the appeal are:

  1. Serious illness or accident on the part of the student. An appeal of this type will normally require a supporting statement from the doctor.
  2. Death or serious illness in the immediate family.
  3. Other extenuating circumstances.

Appeals must be received by the Director of Student Financial Services no later than 14 days following the receipt of the SAP Suspension notice. If the appeal is granted the student is approved to receive financial aid for a one semester probationary period. At the end of the probationary period a review is conducted to see if the student is now meeting the SAP standards. In circumstances where a student may not be able to meet the SAP requirements in the one term probationary period, the university may provide an academic plan under the guidance of the Financial Aid Office. The academic plan would be individualized to the student. Students are limited to two appeals while enrolled at Trevecca.
