SAP Financial Aid Suspension: Students who are unsuccessful in the SAP appeal or who chose not to
appeal will not be eligible for TITLE IV funds. After financial aid is suspended, a student is considered to
be out of satisfactory progress until the next official evaluation period or until they have successfully
appealed the SAP determination. Branford Academy will notify students of ineligibly on the day the
SAP evaluation is signed by the student. Students may also be subject to termination from the
program at the discretion of school administration.

Re-establishment of Status: A student who has been placed on probation or suspension will have the
status restored to satisfactory if they have attained the required attendance and academic requirements at
the time of the next official evaluation period or if they successfully appeal the satisfactory progress
determination. Once the student is evaluated officially and is determined to be meeting the progress
standards in both attendance and academics, the student shall be deemed to be making satisfactory
progress.

SAP Issues Related to Transfers and Program Transfers:

Transfer students-Midpoint of contracted hours or the established evaluation periods, whichever
comes first. Eye lash Tech, Make up Artistry & Nail Tech transfer hours are not accepted.

The school counts accepted transfer hours as both attempted and actual hours for the purpose of
determining when the allowable maximum time-frame has been exhausted. SAP evaluation periods are
based on actual contracted hours at the institution. In other words, a transfer student is treated as if they
are a new student with 100% attendance regarding SAP. The number of hours the student transfers is also
the number of hours a student was scheduled to complete. Upon acceptance the student is deemed to be
in SAP until the first available evaluation period, which is based on the current enrollment only. All transfer
students regardless of the number of transferred hours are required to maintain satisfactory progress in
order to successfully move toward graduation. Such maximum time frame shall be based on 143% of the
transfer student’s contracted hours. SAP reviews shall take place at least once by midpoint of the transfer
students contracted hours.

SAP Issues Related to Leave of Absence: A student, who returns from LOA into the same program
within 180 days, will return to the program in the same SAP status in which they left until the next
evaluation period. A student who left during an initial evaluation period (who did not yet have an
evaluation) shall be deemed to be in satisfactory progress until an official evaluation period; treated
similar to a student who was on an official leave of absence.

Re-Admittance: Re-enrollment evaluation periods are determined by the amount of time since the last
verifiable date attended. Students re-entering the School will re-enter in the same progress status as
when they left regardless of the amount of time that lapsed.

Monthly Review (Unofficial Reviews) Each student’s attendance and academic progress will be
monitored monthly. Students who are deemed to be below the school’s cumulative standards at the time
of the unofficial review will be advised of their progress and notified of measures they should take to
improve their situation by the time of the next monthly review and in order to assure that their progress
comes within standards by their official satisfactory progress evaluation.

Progress reports are issued every 3rd month and available upon request to be used for informational
purposes. These progress reports will contain information regarding the student’s progress to date on
attendance and on academics.
