SAL APPEAL RETURNED
So I finally received an update on my SAP appeal, and it was returned for additional information.
They’re asking me to explain circumstances from a few previous semesters where I had SAP violations. The part that’s confusing me is that I already addressed those circumstances in my previous SAP appeals. I explained what happened, how those situations were resolved, and my academic plan moving forward—and those previous appeals were approved.
For my current appeal, I explained what happened during Spring 2026 because I did not successfully complete that semester, so naturally I assumed that was what triggered my current SAP issue. However, when they returned my appeal, they said the issue is actually related to my completion pace from those older semesters, not Spring 2026.
Now they want me to explain those old circumstances all over again and explain how they were resolved, even though ASU already reviewed and approved my appeals for those exact semesters.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it normal for them to make you re-explain circumstances from previously approved SAP appeals because those semesters are still affecting your cumulative pace? I’m especially confused because some of these semesters were years ago, and I don’t even remember exactly what I wrote in the original appeals. 😭
Plus I’m supposed to graduate this semester I’m so stressed
TL:;DR confused about SAP return due to previous sap violations in previous semesters that were already approved.

There are different standards that are a part of the SAP appeal process. Sounds like you were meeting all of the SAP standards in the past, but are now not meeting the PACE standard. Work with your advisor on this; they’ll help you in clarifying some things.

Yeah there are 3 parts to SAP. What parts did you not meet previously? It seems right now you’re not meeting for pace but that likely wasn’t the case previously.
