All ODU students must demonstrate continuous progress toward
their degree program requirements within an established time
frame. If students do not meet SAP standards, they will be in
jeopardy of losing financial aid eligibility, including federal, state,
institution and/or certified private loans.
A student’s grades will be reviewed at the completion of the Spring
Semester. Students who do not meet SAP standards will be sent
notifications to their permanent address.
FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION & PROBATION
Students who do not meet SAP standards are placed on financial
aid suspension. Every student has the option to appeal his or her
suspension. Only mitigating circumstances that seriously affect your
academic progress will be considered.

Students currently on financial aid probation will be reviewed at the
end of each academic term. Students who fail to meet the
probationary conditions will be ineligible for future aid until SAP
guidelines are met.
THE APPEAL PROCESS
• Complete SAP appeal form and complete Evaluation of
Academic Performance form with academic advisor.
• Submit your complete appeal packet with supporting
documents and allow two weeks for a decision. The decision
will be sent to your ODU permanent address.
• Students awaiting a response from the SAP Appeal Review
Committee are responsible for paying their tuition and other
fees by the payment deadline to avoid late and collection fees.
• The complete packet including advisor portion and all
documentation needed must be attached or appeal will be
denied. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the advisor
portion is completed and submitted to the Financial Aid office.
