Appeal Procedures
Students placed in Denied status have the right to appeal. All appeals are reviewed by the Satisfactory Progress Committee. When reviewing appeals, the committee looks for mitigating circumstances (unusual or extraordinary circumstances beyond the student’s control that the student could not have planned for).
How to submit an appeal
To submit an appeal, follow these steps:
- Print a copy of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress Appeal Form (2 pages) and the Academic Plan Summary for Financial Aid Appeal Form (1 page) from www.mccneb.edu/fa/documents/financialaidappealinstructions.pdf.
- Complete steps 1 through 4 on the appeal form as well as the academic plan summary. You may need to request assistance from an academic advisor or counselor if you are not able to complete the academic plan summary on your own.
- Submit the completed appeal (appeal form, academic plan, written statement, supporting documentation) to any Financial Aid office.
Review of appeals
The Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress Committee reviews appeals. Students are notified of the committee’s decision on their appeal by official MCC email and in My Way.
When appeals are approved, students are reinstated for the quarter in which they are currently registered or the next available quarter if not currently registered for classes.
When appeals are denied or students decide not to appeal, students are responsible for payment of all educational costs, including tuition, fees, books, and supplies, for any quarters in which they are enrolled after receiving denied status from financial aid.
