In certain situations, students and/or their families may appeal for a re-evaluation of their eligibility for financial aid. In other situations, students may appeal if they are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), but want to remain eligible for financial aid.
Fall Semester: November 15
Spring Semester: April 1
Summer Semester: July 15
Appeal
To be eligible for financial aid, all students are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). If a student is not making SAP, they have the option to complete an appeal to receive financial aid for a probationary period.
Appeal
The dependency appeal process allows a student who has extenuating circumstances to appeal to be considered independent, even though they do not meet any of the independent student criteria on the FAFSA.
Request
When you complete the FAFSA, you report your marital status as of that day. If you will marry after completing your FAFSA, please visit with a Financial Aid and Scholarships Counselor to determine if a change of marital status will benefit you.
Appeal
Completing a Special Circumstances Appeal is the process that allows students/families to address income changes.
Including but not limited to:
If you think you may be a candidate for a Special Circumstance Appeal, visit with a Financial Aid and Scholarships Counselor.
Appeal
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of school-related expenses the student can expect to have for the academic year, or semester of enrollment at UVU. The COA is what determines how much financial aid a student may receive. The COA includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal (miscellaneous) costs, and minimal transportation costs to and from school (the purchase of a car is excluded).
On a case-by-case basis, a student may complete a Cost of Attendance Appeal that may be able to include costs for dependent care, a computer purchase, disability costs, etc. A COA Appeal may also be completed for housing and utilities if the student has extenuating circumstances.
