Special Circumstances


Have you experienced changes to your family's financial situation?

If you or your family's financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your federal income tax return (for example, if you've lost a job or otherwise experienced a reduction in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted.  Complete the FAFSA questions as instructed on the application, submit your FAFSA form, then contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss how your current financial situation has changed.  A financial aid professional will review your circumstances and can meet with you to make any necessary changes to your FAFSA to potentially increase your eligibility.  

Complete and submit the following appeal and a representative from the Financial Aid Office will contact you to schedule an appointment.  If you submit an appeal, it will be reviewed and you will be notified of the results within 60 days.
