Appeals

• Wait until you have viewed your Temporary Assessment online. If you decide that you want to appeal, the forms are available online.
• Fill out your Earnings Verification Form, also available online. Obtain proof of your pre-study period income or submit proof that you were actively seeking, but unable to find, work during this period. To do this you can complete a Job Search Form, available online. You can also obtain letters from 5 potential employers to whom you applied for work. Appeals cannot be processed without submitting a completed Earnings Verification Form.
• Students and/or parents (depending on the type of appeal) should complete all applicable sections of the Appeal Form including signatures, and provide any required supporting documentation. (Documents will not be returned. If you need photocopies of loan-related documents, SFAIC can provide that service for you).
• Mail the completed Appeal Form, the required supporting documentation and the Earnings Verification Form to the PEI Student Financial Services. An appeal will only be processed once, so be sure that it is complete and includes all supporting documentation.
• Acceptable reasons for appeal include:
• Expected student contribution not earned over pre-study period due to illness or injury.
• Academic costs more then originally stated.
• Parental contribution cannot be made due to family emergency (list of acceptable reasons available online).
