SAP Appeal

Use this form if you are appealing the suspension of your financial aid due to your failure to meet the SAP requirements set forth by Kennesaw State University. If your SAP failure was due to extenuating circumstances, you may be eligible for reevaluation of your financial aid eligibility by the SAP Appeals committee.

Complete appeals submitted by noon (12:00pm) on the 5th day of each month will receive the Appeals Committee decision by the 25th of the month. Decisions will be sent to your student email address and are mailed via US Mail. Please be sure submit your complete appeal in a timely fashion to meet payment deadlines.
