Time to Degree

Disqualification appeals will be considered by the Financial Aid Appeal Committee and a written response will be sent to the student within two weeks of receipt.

An approved disqualification appeal does not alter the outcome of the satisfactory academic progress review.

Veterans benefit recipients may only receive benefits while on probation with a successful appeal for a maximum of one term. Satisfactory academic progress must be regained in order to continue to receive VA funding after the probationary term.

If the disqualification appeal is unsuccessful or not submitted within the required time frame, the student may appeal again during a subsequent term prior to the Disqualification Appeal Deadline for that term as published in the University Master Calendar.
