My financial situation changed. Can I qualify for more financial assistance?

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

How to Request a Recalculation

To have your financial aid reviewed and potentially adjusted:

1. Submit the online Request for Recalculation Form
2. Carefully review all instructions provided in the form
3. Submit all required supporting documentation

Note: The Financial Aid Office begins accepting submissions on July 1

Processing Timeline

• The review process typically takes about one month
• Processing time depends on how quickly all required documentation is submitted

Important Notes

• Requests are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed approval
• Complete and accurate documentation is essential for timely processing
