If there were not circumstances outside of your control that caused your suspension, please select After Academic Improvement to see how to qualify to request your reinstatement.

• Reinstatement by Appeal

  If there were circumstances outside your control that caused your financial aid suspension, you have the option to submit an appeal.

  Example: You had a medical emergency and had to withdraw from all of your classes. You were then suspended for being below the 67% completion requirement. You would complete and submit the Appeal form, medical documentation, and an Academic Plan for review.

  Example: You previously completed a program at Madison College. You were then suspended for exceeding the Maximum Attempted Credits in your current program. You would explain on the Appeal form that you previously completed a program, how you plan to complete your current program in a timely manner, and indicate that the documentation is on file.

  How To Appeal

  You must submit the following items in order to request reinstatement of your financial aid. The Appeal form can be found in your myMadisonCollege To Do List. The supporting documentation must be from a third party who supports the circumstances of the appeal, such as your doctor or employer.

  1. The Financial Aid Appeal form
  2. Supporting documentation

  Examples of supporting documentation are listed on the Appeal form. The supporting documentation must be from a third party who supports the circumstances of the appeal, such as your doctor or employer. Also note that you must meet with an academic advisor prior to submitting your appeal, and the form requires an advisor signature.

• Reinstatement After Academic Improvement

  If there were not circumstances outside of your control that caused your suspension, you have the option to appeal after you have shown Academic Improvement.

  Example: Your first semester grades were not good because you didn't spend enough time on your homework. You were then suspended because your GPA was below the 2.0 requirement. This is not a situation that is outside of your control. You may appeal after you have shown Academic Improvement. Once the requirements are met, you would submit the Appeal form and your successful grades will serve as your supporting documentation.
