Get your Financial Aid Back on Track

If you are not eligible for financial aid at this time, do not let this derail your educational path. We are here to help get your financial aid back on track!

Back On Track workshops

Our Get Your Financial Aid Back On Track workshops are designed for students who became academically ineligible to receive financial aid due to not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. If you have lost your financial aid eligibility due to a SAP issue, you have a chance to regain eligibility through the Financial Aid Appeal process. Our goal is to help you regain financial aid eligibility and get back on track for success. 

Summer Session I Appeal Deadline is May 25, 2025. 

At the end of our workshops, you should be able to:  

  • Understand how SAP affects financial aid eligibility  
  • Learn how to calculate your GPA  
  • Know the difference between SAP and CCRI academic standing  
  • Make informed decisions  
  • Determine if you may appeal your ineligibility for financial aid based on extenuating circumstances 
  • Start the appeal process to regain financial aid eligibility if necessary

Our office offers Get Your Financial Aid Back On Track virtual workshops to assist you with your financial aid appeal process. The Financial Aid Appeal Form is available for you to complete online. 

Prepare for the workshop by:

  • Checking and reviewing the Financial Aid Appeal Form

  • Identifying the term(s) during which you experienced the mitigating circumstances leading to losing your Financial Aid eligibility.

These workshops are an opportunity for you to meet with the SAP Coordinator and possibly file a financial aid appeal as a first step toward reinstating your eligibility for federal and/or state financial aid for future semesters.

Complete Your FAFSA

If you haven't already, be sure to complete your 2024-2025 FAFSA for Spring 2025 enrollment. This is important as there are some limited types of financial aid available for students regardless of their SAP status, but all of the programs require you to have a FAFSA on file.
