Changes in Your Financial Situation
If your financial situation has changed, you may be eligible for additional financial assistance through a Special Circumstances Review.
What Is a Special Circumstances Review?
The Financial Aid Office can evaluate changes in your financial situation on a case-by-case basis. These reviews may allow your financial aid eligibility to be recalculated.
Examples of Qualifying Circumstances
You may be considered for a review if you have experienced:
- Loss of income due to layoff
- Disability
- Divorce or separation
- Loss of untaxed benefits
- Death or other significant changes affecting your financial situation

- Submit all required supporting documentation
Note: The Financial Aid Office begins accepting submissions on July 1
Processing Timeline
