No. Although Academic Standing (AS) and the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid eligibility are different, Ball State has created a system so that students do not have to submit 2 separate appeals. However, because separation appeals to return to the university and appeals for financial aid continuation are separate decisions that are reviewed at differing times of the year, the procedure can be different depending on the semester. As such, affected students should pay attention to instructions provided to their Ball State email address. For more information regarding the SAP appeal process, please click here.
