However, the student must be able to document mitigating circumstances. A student must indicate in writing to the Office of Student Financial Services why the aid should not be terminated. The student must explain why satisfactory progress was not maintained and what has changed to allow the student to be successful. Appeals may be made if there are unusual situations such as injury to or illness of the student, death of a family member, undue hardship, or other serious crisis. External documentation may be required. The appeal will be reviewed to determine whether or not reinstatement of aid is justified, and the student will be notified of the decision by email. If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on academic probation which will allow another term of financial aid. The student will be given an academic plan that must be met at the end of each subsequently enrolled term or until the student returns to satisfactory progress. The academic plan generally requires a term GPA of 2.25 and a 75% completion rate; under certain circumstances different requirements may be set.<\/p>\n<p data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-text-block__text fy-paragraph\">Adhering to this plan will not always restore both metrics to good standing simultaneously, although that is what is required to be in good standing. If one metric is restored before the other, you will remain on probation until the other metric is restored and both GPA and completion rate are simultaneously in good standing. In other words, you will need to continually demonstrate forward progress in accordance with the plan until both metrics are simultaneously restored to good standing.\u00a0 If the student\u2019s first appeal is approved but the student does not meet the academic plan, financial aid will be terminated until the student has returned to satisfactory academic status.<\/p>\n<p data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-text-block__text fy-paragraph\">Denial of the first appeal is not grounds for a second appeal. However, if the first appeal is denied, the student has the right to request a review of their first appeal with a member of the financial aid leadership team if there is legitimate concern. If an appeal is approved, and the student does not meet the requirements of the academic plan in a subsequent term, financial aid will be terminated until the student has returned to satisfactory status or graduated. In some cases, students can submit a second appeal, provided the circumstances differ from the first.\u00a0 All second appeals are final and will exhaust all avenues of the appeal process.<\/p>\n<p data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-text-block__text fy-paragraph\">Students who are not receiving financial aid due to unsatisfactory academic progress and believe they have returned to satisfactory academic progress should contact the Office of Student Financial Services to request their record be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"fy-text-block__text fy-paragraph\">For students receiving financial aid, Satisfactory Academic Progress notifications will be sent to the Forsyth Tech campus e-mail address after grade posting in the fall, spring and summer.
