Submit all appeal forms and documentation to the Financial Aid office at least 15 business days before the semester start date. Note that if you submit an appeal after this date, your appeal will be processed before the end of the semester. If you submit an appeal, the financial aid office will not hold your classes.
Login to GetSAP using your Central Piedmont student ID and password.
Complete the session in your Dashboard called “Understanding Satisfactory Academic Progress and the Financial Aid SAP Appeal Process.”
The session should take 30-40 minutes. You will need an 85% or higher pass rate.
Print the "Congratulations" page to confirm you passed the session.
Under "Related Links," fill out the appeal form completely and print. Be sure to address each term your extenuating circumstances occurred.
Submit your completed appeal form with your statement explaining the circumstances that led to your inability to meet satisfactory academic progress standards, including:
– why you did not successfully meet the required academic standards during the semesters of unsatisfactory progress
– how the situation is resolved
– what you plan to do to be successful in the future
Write your name and student ID number at the beginning of all supporting documents.
Submit all paperwork – your appeal form, "Congratulations" confirmation page, and supporting documentation of your extenuating circumstances – to a Central Piedmont financial aid office.
We will send you an email to your Central Piedmont student email account within 7–10 business days after you submit your appeal and documentation.
Central Piedmont’s Financial Aid Office must receive all appeal documentation at least 14 days before the last day of classes for the semester you are appealing.
Submitting an appeal does not guarantee that your financial aid will be reimbursed.
The Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee or a financial aid representative will review your appeal and notify you via your Central Piedmont email address. You may also view your satisfactory academic progress (SAP) status and the determination of your appeals in MyCollege.
Appeals are not retroactive — they are approved for your current (if enrolled) semester or the next semester of enrollment. You are generally limited to two suspension appeals requests while attending Central Piedmont. The later appeal must be based on a different reason from the first appeal.
If your financial aid appeal is approved, you will be placed on Financial Aid Appeal Probation and will be reinstated for financial aid eligibility. Approved appeals will clearly state the condition(s) for eligibility and/or reinstatement and your academic plan.
