Adhere to reinstatement deadlines and guidelines posted by your school. If your financial aid is reinstated within the same school year of the suspension, your financial should be reinstated in time for you register for the semester immediately following the semester when you succeeded in raising your GPA to at least 2.
If you are approaching the start of a new academic school year, you will also need to reapply for financial aid by completing the FAFSA online. Schedule an appointment with a financial aid advisor at your college to discuss your reinstatement eligibility.
Address any concerns and complete any additional forms. Return any forms and additional documentation to your financial department without delay. Request that your financial aid be reinstated in writing when you have succeeded in raising your GPA to at least a 2. Your school's financial aid department may have a specific form you need to complete either in its office or online to complete the reinstatement request.
As long as you have met satisfactory academic progress guidelines adopted by your school, your financial aid will be reinstated. Academic actions can be appealed to the Undergraduate Academic Standing Committee or appropriate university authorities. This committee may repeal suspensions of students not making satisfactory academic progress when it deems the failure to be due to exceptional circumstances and judges the student has a reasonable chance to meet graduation requirements.
Appeals are taken to be good faith actions that request reexamination of academic decisions. Appeals must be submitted to the Director of Learning Support Services. All appeals must be made within limited time frames depending upon the action being appealed. A successful academic appeal does not necessarily result in a reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. A student who has lost aid eligibility due to insufficient satisfactory academic progress and who is wishing to appeal to have his or her financial aid reinstated must do so through the Student Financial Services office.
Finding excuses to avoid homework is harder when other people are involved. Colleges have many resources to help students succeed. Writing, math and general tutoring centers can help students grasp concepts and improve their grades. Similarly, students can block out chunks of time dedicated to fun activities. Students may have the ability to retake courses to improve their grades, which can help raise GPA and regain lost credits in the case of failed classes.
Since schools limit the number of courses students can retake, and retaking classes can push out graduation, students should discuss this option with their academic advisor. Sometimes students will receive an I, which stands for incomplete. In general, incomplete grades are only given to students who have done well in the class but certain circumstances prevented them from completing all coursework or exams.
Schools give students a predetermined length of time to complete the course and receive a final grade. Putting in the time to work with professors and turn in any coursework for incompletes is a smart choice. Academic probation can be a good indicator that students need to step up their effort or change the way they approach their educations.
It can also serve as a good opportunity for students to develop new habits that can help keep them from another probationary period. Students can try out these steps to help keep themselves in good academic standing. Using a planner — either a physical one or on an app—can help students block out study time, stay on top of homework and important due dates, and keep track of projects and exams that may need extra attention.
Asking for assistance before things get out of hand is important. Students often feel uncomfortable asking for help, especially when so many see college as a time to prove themselves as fully-competent, independent adults. However, everyone struggles and needs help now and then, and getting comfortable with reaching out to tutors, classmates, parents, teachers and other resources can be a huge asset in staying in good academic standing.
Visiting teachers during their office hours gives students an opportunity to see where their grades stand and get any extra guidance on assignments and course materials. Quick questions can often be resolve via email, too.
Meeting regularly with advisors, like at the beginning and middle of each term, can help students create manageable schedules and work through any issues before they get out of hand. Students will likely have to make some personal and academic changes to stay off probation. A good self-assessment can help students identify their strengths, study habits and common pitfalls. Once identified, students can make positive adjustments.
Students and parents alike may be worried or disappointed but being open and honest can help reduce any feelings of shame and help students get back on track. If an appeal is on the table, talk to your student about whether or not they should do it. If there were personal factors that led to their poor performance, like an illness or grief over the loss of a loved one , then an appeal might be a good idea.
Or maybe you and your student have identified some issues that could be worked on to help improve their grades after a successful appeal. If you can make a plan for better time management and more energy dedicated to schoolwork, as well as getting a tutor and joining a study group, your student may very well find success if their appeal is granted.
The same goes for a written appeal. Welcome friend! We're glad you found us. If your student is allowed to return to their school or decides to enroll in another school in the future, they need a strategy to avoid going down the path that led to their dismissal in the first place.
