8.

Eligibility for financial assistance would only be considered once I have regained eligibility by paying for classes on my own.

Yes No

Your appeal will be reviewed in the order it was received. Failure to complete any part of the appeal process could result in either a delay or the loss of financial assistance. You will be informed in writing at the address on file with the College of our decision as soon as possible. If approved, you will be sent a "contract" which must be returned before financial assistance is made available.

Thank you,

Enrollment Center
