Special Circumstances
If you or your family have encountered personal or financial hardships that were not accurately reflected at the time you filled out your FAFSA, Financial Aid can review your file for consideration of special circumstances.
Financial Aid representatives can make professional judgment decisions on a case-by-case basis to adjust the components of a student’s cost of attendance or the data used to calculate their SAI (previously referred to as EFC for the 2023-2024 year). This adjustment is valid only at the school making the change.
Each of these decisions is made on an individual basis and will require supporting documentation.
