Purpose:

To operationalize Valley City State University’s policy 531.01 Student Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress.

Procedure:

Reestablishing Eligibility for Financial Aid/Appeal Process:

• By successfully completing coursework without federal financial aid to bring their cumulative GPA or rate of completion to the minimum required standards, a student can reestablish eligibility.
• Students who have been placed on Disqualification may appeal their status if they have had an extenuating circumstance that negatively impacted their academic performance.   
• A student must submit their appeal for the semester by the end of the third day of class. They need to have their VCSU account paid in full prior to submitting their appeal. The submission must also include an approved class schedule for the semester by their academic advisor.
• Submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval to reinstate eligibility. Students will receive notification via VCSU email or the SAP appeal decision.
