The Office of Financial Aid can take into account special circumstances, which may affect your need, on a case-by-case basis. Reasons that may be considered for a Special Circumstances Review include loss of income due to layoff, disability, divorce, separation or loss of untaxed benefits etc. If you are interested in a Special Circumstance, please select your college below to begin the process.
If a student’s (and/or spouse, parent if applicable) financial situation has changed significantly since he/she filed for financial aid for the current aid year, they may qualify for a recalculation of their Student Financial Aid Eligibility.
The Recalculation Request Form must be completed to initiate the request, in which the request form contains all the information required for a Recalculation. To obtain a copy of the form, please visit the Financial Aid Office on campus. You may also go ahead an make an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor for additional information and assistance with completing the request process. Please be sure to review all of the instructions associated with a Recalculation Request as the request form will provide specific instructions and relevance of a student's situation that may qualify them for a recalculation. The request form will also provide the different types of supporting documents that a student can use to support the request.
Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances and documentation provided with each request. Please be sure to submit all required documentation all together and at once to the Financial Aid Office. Once you have, please allow up to 1-3 business days for everything to be reviewed and a decision rendered. If it's determined that you are approved the request, the notification that is sent to indicate the outcome of your request will also instruct you to schedule an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor to finalize the paperwork for your changes and complete the request.
