FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS APPEAL PROCESS
Appeal Process:
Students have the right to appeal any decision made by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. However, the decision of the appeals committee is final, and no exceptions can be made for requests in violation of the Federal and State regulations, which govern financial aid. To complete an appeal, use the official appeal request form, available online at www.sa.utah.edu/finance under printable forms.
SAT Standard Violations:
If you believe that there were exceptional circumstances beyond your control, which caused you to violate one or more of the standards listed, you have the right to submit a written appeal. Such circumstances include the death of a family member, or serious illness or injury to the student or an immediate family member. The appeal must include supporting documentation and be submitted on an official appeal form.
Unusual Circumstances Affecting Financial Need:
If you or your family have unusual circumstances (such as loss of employment or major medical expenses) that might affect your need for student financial aid, we invite you to discuss your circumstances with a financial aid counselor. The counselor can determine whether your circumstances warrant special consideration, and will provide you with the forms necessary to submit an appeal.
