Satisfactory Academic Progress

If you submit your appeal by the priority deadline, you are guaranteed to have your appeal reviewed by the first day of the semester. This will allow you to determine what finanicial aid you may or may not be eligible for before starting your classes.

Students that submit their appeal after the priority deadline should make payment arrangements with the Business Office to avoid being dropped for non-payment.

If you do not attend the Alamo Colleges District during the term for which the appeal was submitted and approved, the approval will be voided and your SAP status will be returned to suspension.

However, if you do complete attendance at the Alamo Colleges District during the term for which the appeal was submitted and approved, your renewed financial aid eligibility may be extended for up to one (1) academic year of non-enrollment. At the end of this non-enrollment period, your financial aid eligibility will be returned to suspension.

Please make sure you have

1) completed the ApplyTexas application for admission,

2) completed your FAFSA and

3) that the Alamo Colleges District has successfully received your FAFSA.

Your academic history, including hours transferred into the Alamo Colleges District, is cumulative and never resets itself. Once you are in violation of SAP requirements, the suspension status remains until an appeal is approved or sufficient progress is made. Transferred hours count towards maximum attempted hours.

No. An approved petition or Academic Fresh Start does not impact your financial aid suspension. Only an appeal approved through the financial aid appeal committee can reinstate students. 

No. Your suspension status impacts eligibility for all federal aid, including Direct Loans.
