Financial Aid Suspension

Summary

Where to find information about Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), Suspension, and the SAP appeals process

If you are receiving financial aid, you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). There are several possible SAP status:

Satisfactory – you are meeting SAP requirements and are potentially eligible for financial aid
Suspension – you are not meeting SAP requirements and are not eligible for financial aid, but you do have the option to appeal
Continued Probation – your SAP appeal has been granted, and you are potentially eligible for financial aid as long as you meet the conditions of your appeal
Termination – you did not meet the conditions of your probation period after your appeal was granted, so you will not be eligible for financial aid until you are meeting SAP requirements again; the termination status cannot be appealed

The details of the SAP requirements and the appeals process can be found in the A-B Tech Catalog and on the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (FASAP) Policy page. SAP appeal forms can be found at abtech.edu/financialaidforms.

The appeal timeframe for each semester can be found by visiting abtech.edu/deadlines and selecting Financial Aid Dates & Deadlines. Scroll to the "Appeals" section to view dates and deadlines for the Fall, Spring and Summer terms.
