For financial aid grievances in general, (i.e. those that are not mentioned previously in this handbook) students may appeal to the FA Appeal Committee consisting of the Counselor, the student’s instructor (current or prospective), the Financial Aid Coordinator, the Chief Financial Officer and a neutral party appointed by the Chief Financial Officer. Students do not need a special form to file this appeal.

Students requesting an appeal for such general grievances need to provide in writing a request addressing the FA Appeals Committee stating that they would like to have a meeting to present the special circumstances they feel warrant an action concerning their financial aid at SWTC. The committee will meet with the student and the student will receive written notification of the committee’s decision within five school days.
