Eligibility Review Policy
The SBCC Promise Eligibility Review Form is available for students who did not complete eligibility requirements or have a special circumstance beyond their control. This form is used to evaluate an exception of SBCC Promise eligibility guidelines. Appeals are reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis.
