Attention UEH Appeal Applicant

Your appeal will not be sent to the appeal committee if all requested documents have not been submitted to complete your financial aid application (FAFSA) to the Financial Aid Office.

Please do not turn in your JCC UEH Appeal without the following information

  1. An accurate JCC email address.
  2. Your Student ID number.
  3. Documentation for all circumstances mentioned in the appeal explaining why no academic credit was earned.

Note

Appeals will be reviewed only once. Appeals require documentation, such as illness, accident, financial issues, family emergency, military obligations, or other mitigating circumstances, and will be considered with only what is turned in prior to the committee meeting for review. Appropriate documentation may include medical documentation, legal documents, or other third-party official documents.

You will be notified of the SAP Appeal Committee's decision by school email.

JCC Unusual Enrollment History Appeal Form

For Financial Aid 2025-2026

Student information

Unusual Enrollment History Requirements

  • New regulations from the Department of Education require institutions to check unusual enrollment history in an effort to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program.
  • Federal regulations allow the Financial Aid Office to determine whether a student should continue receiving Title IV aid if the student failed to earn credit at previously attended institutions and can document mitigating circumstances beyond their control.
  • Documentation must support the reasons given for failure to earn academic credit and show that the student did not enroll only to receive credit balance funds.

Suggestions on Writing Your Appeal

  • Submit your appeal as soon as possible.
  • A reason for appealing would be an extenuating circumstance beyond your control that you can document and that explains why academic credit was not earned.
  • The appeal should explain in detail the reasons for not earning academic credit at any previously attended institutions.
  1. Part I: Complete the School History Chart. List institutions previously attended during the four-year award period (2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025) where you received Pell Grant funding.
  2. Part II: Explain how the circumstances prevented you from earning academic credit at each previously attended institution.
  3. Part III: Explain how you will be able to meet the academic plan and earn credit at JCC.
