Financial Aid Appeals Process
Federal regulations require that students receiving financial assistance maintain satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. A student must maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by the standards of academic progress policy. Click here to view the standards of academic progress policy on the JSCC website. Students who are academically ineligible for federal aid due to not meeting the standards of academic progress policy can submit an appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee by the specified deadline. For academic issues such as grade changes and problems with courses or instructors, you must contact the appropriate faculty member or academic dean.
Students who are approved on appeal must follow the plan set for them by the Appeals Committee and earn a “C” or better and not withdraw. Appeals are continued as long as the student meets the minimum criteria set forth by the Appeals Committee and follows the academic plan approved.
Students who fail to complete the terms of the appeal will be expected to meet the SAP requirements using their own means before they will be considered eligible to receive financial aid.
Financial Aid Appeal Form
Prior to submitting the appeal form students must have a 2024-2025 FAFSA on file and have submitted all requested Financial Aid and Admission requirements. The appeal will be automatically denied if the appeal form is incomplete. Complete Appeal forms submitted by the deadline will be submitted to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee for review. Students will be notified via JSCC email of the committee’s appeal decision. Students will need their myJSCC login information to access and complete the appeal form.
