Financial Aid Appeals

Students who do not meet the satisfactory academic progress requirements after the probation period will be denied additional financial aid. If, due to a mitigating circumstance (such as loss of income, death in the family, etc.) a student falls below the required standards, they may appeal by explaining the circumstances to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee within 30 days of notification concerning their academic performance. All appeals should be in writing and forwarded to:

Thomas Edison State University

Financial Aid Appeals Committee

Office of Financial Aid

111 W. State St.

Trenton, NJ 08608

If an appeal is granted, the student must regain satisfactory academic progress after the end of the appealed semester to be considered for further aid. If progress is not made at the end of the appealed semester, but the student completes all courses attempted with grades of C or better in that semester, an additional semester may be awarded. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid at 609-633-9658 after the results of the appealed semester are posted.
