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.
North Idaho College recognizes that unusual and extraordinary situations do occur and therefore allow SAP appeals for the following conditions:
- Illness or injury of the student or other
- household member
- Death of a loved one
- Interpersonal problems with family or friends
- Difficulty balancing responsibilities
- Financial difficulties
- Other individual extenuating circumstances
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 are published on the College Calendar each year
**Unsatisfactory Appeals are not accepted for the Summer Session**
