[Oasfaa] SAP Appeal Scenario

Tue Jul 5 16:52:41 CDT 2022

We have a unique situation with one of our students. He is a former vet who struggles with PTSD and a lot of mental health issues. He has failed SAP on multiple occasions with obvious reason to appeal. Our policy states that a student may appeal multiple times, but it must be for a new reason. For him, we have approved more than one appeal based on him providing new plans for treatment, types of therapy, etc. that were intended to help him better succeed. He has failed once again and is looking to appeal another time. As you can imagine, this becomes a very sensitive situation as we do not want to deny his appeal, but it is becoming less apparent that he will ever be able to successfully meet SAP or complete his degree.

We have attempted communicating with his rep at the VA. At one point a contact there was going to counsel him around other options, but the next thing we knew he was reaching out and planning to enroll again, with his VA Voc Rehab reps support. Has anyone experienced a situation like this? Do we have grounds to continue to approve his appeal or is it our obligation to deny it? The last thing we want to do is deny an appeal for a veteran, but just aren't sure at what point we can no longer approve these requests. He has reached the point now where he is failing SAP for all three categories - max timeframe, GPA, and completion rate. The student has made threats to contact political officials if we deny his requests, so we are trying to be sure we handle this carefully, but correctly.

Good afternoon,
On July 7, 2022, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will host our annual workshop to review the latest information regarding Oklahoma's Promise, Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant, Academic Scholars, and other available State Regents' programs. We will be offering: our "nuts and bolts" sessions geared toward newcomers and those in need of a program refresher, an OSRHE update from Bryce, information on tuition waivers at state system colleges, and special sessions on new programs. Plan to attend this meeting for an in-depth look at our program procedures and invaluable informational updates.
This free workshop will be held at the PHF Conference Center located at 655 Research Parkway, OKC, OK 73104. Registration begins at 8:00 am and the workshop runs from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. Please see the attached agenda for additional information.
