Income Change/Special
Circumstance Appeal
(Independent student)
PLEASE NOTE: You must have filed a 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have
received your results BEFORE submitting this form. All appeals must contain supporting documentation.
Unsigned, incomplete or inadequately documented forms will not be considered. Submission of an appeal
does not imply your request will be approved. Appeals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later
than mid-term of the semester for which the student is requesting aid.
Financial need is partially based on the student’s and his/her spouse’s (if applicable) gross annual income for the
previous tax year. If your income has recently decreased or you have special financial issues that were not taken into
account on your FAFSA, we may be able to re-evaluate your financial need based on your projected gross income for
the 2014 tax year (January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014). For independent students, we consider income for the
student and, if married, the spouse.
You will be notified in writing of the Appeal Committee’s decision. Allow 30 days for review. Additional time may
be needed for review if the Financial Aid Office requests additional information. If we are able to make adjustments,
we will submit corrections to your FAFSA data. If you qualify for additional aid based on your adjusted financial need,
we will award the additional aid when the correction process is complete. This correction process could take up to two
more weeks, depending on the time of year.
WHAT IS A “SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE”?
Special circumstances are usually defined as unexpected events or situations beyond your control. Examples include
(but are not limited to): loss of employment, reduction in hours, loss of benefits such as Social Security or child
support, disability, separation or divorce after filing the FAFSA, death of a spouse after filing the FAFSA.
WHAT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR APPEAL? (not limited to these examples)
• Routine personal living expenses (car payments, insurance, credit card bills, mortgage/rent)
• Unusual personal living expenses (wedding costs, legal expenses)
• Reduction in overtime pay
• Bankruptcy
• One-time income from gambling earnings
