Financial Aid Appeal

Academic Financial Aid Appeals

Students whose financial aid is suspended due to exceeding the maximum time frame or not meeting the grade point average and/or completion rate requirement may appeal if they have extenuating circumstances that contributed to the poor academic performance. You are required to submit documentation to support your explanation.

Students who wish to submit an appeal form MUST first complete a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) workshop. The workshop will review the basics of SAP and how to complete an appeal form. The appeal form will be provided at the end of the workshop.

Registration is required to attend by emailing financialaid@carteret.edu or by calling (252) 222-6293. All workshops are held in the Financial Aid Office in room 102 of the McGee Building on campus.
