Appeal Process

What is the process?

Federal Regulations allow an institution to use professional judgment on a case-by-case basis to determine if an unusual or extraordinary situation affected the student’s progression toward the successful completion of his or her program of study. The decision to permit appeals and the methods involved in reviewing appeals is at the discretion of the North Idaho College (NIC) Financial Aid Office.

Our office recognizes that unusual and extraordinary situations do occur and therefore allow Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeals for the following conditions:

  • Illness or injury of the student or the student’s dependent (medical documentation required)
  • Death of a family member (death certificate or Obituary notice documentation required)
  • Interpersonal problems with family or friends and/or difficulty balancing responsibilities (documentation required – two reference letters, one personal and one professional)
  • Financial difficulties (documentation required – Bills, statements, collection notices, or eviction notices)
  • Maximum Time Frame -  (Current degree audit which shows the student's current program, the number of classes needed to complete their program, and current registration status).

The following information must be included in the appeal:

  • Why the student believes he or she failed to make SAP
  • What has changed in the student’s situation that will allow him or her to succeed at the next evaluation
Appeal Deadlines:
 

Spring 2022:  

  • December 22nd-January 9th
  • March 7th-11th (Midterm Appeal Period)
Summer 2022: Maximum Timeframe Appeals must be submitted no later than June 5th 

**Unsatisfactory Appeals will not be accepted for the summer semester**
