Appeals must be submitted in writing (email or letter is acceptable) and need to include the basis for which an appeal should be granted, such as injury, illness, death of a relative or other special circumstance and what has changed in the student’s situation such that a period of SAP Probation is warranted. Appeals must be submitted to appeals@bryanuniversity.edu for review and approval. The University shall respond to the appeal within 10 business days. If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on SAP Probation for one payment period/semester, in which the student will remain eligible for Title IV and VA educational benefits. The student may be required to follow an academic plan, which identifies the steps that must be completed to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress. The student must meet both Qualitative and Quantitative Standards at the end of the SAP Probation period. A student who fails to meet SAP requirements at the end of their SAP Probation period may be dismissed from school. A dismissed student is not eligible for Title IV/VA educational benefits. See Appeal for Dismissals for unsatisfactory academic performance below.
Appeal of Dismissal for Unsatisfactory Academic Performance
Students who have been dismissed may appeal against the dismissal in writing. Appeals must be submitted to appeals@bryanuniversity.edu. The University shall respond to the appeal within 10 business days. If the appeal is granted the student may be allowed one additional semester of SAP Probation, during which the student is eligible for Title IV/VA educational benefits. Students will only be allowed an additional semester of SAP Probation if there are mitigating circumstances such as a death or serious illness of self or family member, other special circumstances, and if it is mathematically possible to meet SAP requirements after the additional period of SAP Probation. If the appeal is denied, the student can continue in their program on an Extended Enrollment status, but the student is not eligible for Title IV/VA educational benefits.
