Incomplete application
or record books (including missing required components)

Lack of student SAE

- The
Denial form is to be used if the district review team recommends
denial of a State FFA Degree.
The minimum qualification form should also be used.
- The
Appeal form should be filed with the State FFA Office within five
days of the District Degree Reviews.
- The
District FFA Board of Directors representative will hold the
record books and applications that are denied at the district
reviews/interviews until Appeal is made. The Board representative
will deliver the books and application to the FFA Board meeting
for review of the Appeal. No
changes in the original submitted record books and application are
allowed. Copies
can be made for student/teacher the day of the interviews.
APPEAL PROCESS
Each student
denied the State FFA Degree has the right to appeal the decision of
the district review committee. If
the student and their advisor believe there was a serious error or an
unfair situation, the Appeal process should be pursued as outlined on
the Denial/Appeal form.
However, the
Appeal process is NOT to be used if a student fails to
meet minimum qualifications or left out required components or
information. It is the
district review team’s responsibility to interview and determine a
candidate’s qualifications and to recommend them for the degree.
Before
submitting state degrees to your district’s process, please
carefully review the application, record books and components each
student submits.
Please be
reminded that the state association follows the recommendations of
each district’s review and interview committee.
