If it is determined a student is not meeting SAP standards and he or she self-corrects his or her issue(s) in a future semester and still meets all other SAP requirements, he or she will become eligible for federal financial aid the following summer semester. If a student corrects his or her issue during a summer or fall term and wants to be considered for federal financial aid prior to the next award year's annual SAP evaluation, he or she must file an appeal. If a student corrects his or her deficit during a summer session and submits an appeal, and the appeal is approved, the student will not be eligible for federal financial aid and need-based state aid for any summer session. The student would be eligible beginning the fall semester.

It a student is held for SAP and a grade is posted late or a professor changes a student grade and the student wants his or her SAP re-evaluated, the student must file an appeal. There is no automatic process to clear SAP holds for students who have a late grade post or a grade changed. It is the student's responsibility to submit an

appeal. If no appeal is submitted, SAP will be re-evaluated during the next award year's annual SAP evaluation process.

For students who are pursuing a second undergraduate or graduate degree or are working on dual degrees, hours from both degrees are counted when evaluating SAP. If determined not to meet the maximum time frame component of SAP, the student has the option to submit an appeal documenting their situation. If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on SAP plan which will generally allow the student to attempt up to 150% of the additional credit hours required to earn his or her second or dual degree.

SAP standards are evaluated based on academic careers. Therefore, if a student switches careers while at Kentucky State University, his or her SAP standards will be evaluated based only on his or her academic data for the career he or she is currently active in. Therefore, as an undergraduate, a student may be determined to not be meeting SAP standards. However, if the student switches to a graduate career, the next time a SAP evaluation is completed for the student, it will only be based on his or her graduate career information; no undergraduate career information will be factored into the evaluation (unless an undergraduate course is coded as a career transfer). If a student held for SAP switches careers and wants his or her SAP re-evaluated based on his or her new career prior to the next award year's annual SAP evaluation, he or she must submit an appeal. It is the student's responsibility to submit an appeal. SAP holds will not automatically be cleared and SAP standards re-evaluated for students who change careers within an evaluation period. Their SAP will be re-evaluated during the next award year's annual SAP evaluation process, if no appeal is filed.
