Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension
If financial aid is suspended, students have the right to petition the Financial Aid Appeals Committee for reinstatement of federal and state financial aid eligibility. Students must submit to the Financial Aid Office, by the published deadlines,the COMPLETE Appeal packet at https://savannahtech.verifymyfafsa.com. The complete Appeal packet must include, a written statement describing the basis for the appeal including all supporting documentation (i.e., death of a relative, an injury or illness of the student, or other special circumstances). Requests for appeal without a letter of explanation and supporting documentation will not be considered and automatically denied.
For those students who have exceeded the 150% maximum timeframe, in addition to the appeal form and written statement, students must submit an Advising Checklist outlining the coursework remaining and timeline for completion. Requests for appeal without a letter of explanation and/or Advising Checklist will not be considered and automatically denied. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will consider each appeal on a case-by-case basis. Notification of the committee’s decision will be sent to the student’s Savannah Tech student email and a letter mailed to the most current address on file.
