All students in receipt of financial aid must maintain a satisfactory standard of academic progress every year in order to continue receiving financial aid.

This guide has been created as a resource for students who have fallen short of Academic Eligibility to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards for financial aid. The appeal for continuation process encourages self-reflection and intentional action that allows students to work toward restoring academic and/or financial aid eligibility. In this process, you will be asked to provide for review:

• Explanation of current academic situation and extenuating circumstances
• Third party feedback if applicable
• Supporting documentation

You are not alone

Each year, about 200 students at Lynn University have significant academic difficulties that impact their academic eligibility standing. In addition to academic difficulty, students often share that they are facing other challenges that impact their academic success. Such challenges include, but may not be limited to:

• Mental health challenges
• Death or major illness of loved one
• Personal illness, injury, or other trauma/crisis
• Financial challenges and unmet basic needs
