Students who lose financial aid eligibility because they are not meeting SAP Standards may use any semester to regain eligibility in one of the following ways: By successfully appealing loss of eligibility. To appeal, the student must submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal for Financial Aid Form with supporting documentation.
By completing one full-time semester (12 credit hours for undergraduate students or 6 credit hours for graduate students) at Wilmington College at his/her own expense (without financial aid funding). The student must demonstrate he/she is capable of completing a semester without any failures, incompletes, withdraws, or grades lower than a "C". Courses taken must be chosen in consultation with the Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success. Student must advance toward attaining a degree and show progress within student’s SAP Academic Plan for graduation. Once the student regains eligibility, financial aid will be awarded the following semester subject to the availability of funds.
By completing one full-time semester or two full-time quarters at another college/university. Keep in mind that credits taken elsewhere will not resolve the Cumulative GPA component of SAP but may be used to resolve the Completion Rate requirement. Courses taken must be chosen in consultation with the Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success. Simply sitting out of school for a semester or two will not restore eligibility for a student who has lost eligibility to receive financial aid funding due to not meeting SAP Standards. Students who have been academically suspended/dismissed from Wilmington College by the Office of Academic Affairs but are subsequently given permission to re-enroll are not automatically eligible to receive financial aid funding. Admission/Re-admission decisions are separate from funding decisions.
