Income Change/Special
Circumstance Appeal
(Dependent student)
PLEASE NOTE: You must have filed a 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have completed your
financial aid file (received an offer letter) 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 aid eligibility is normally based on the student’s and his/her family’s gross annual income for the FAFSA tax
year. The Federal Methodology formula uses information from the FAFSA to estimate what the family might be able to
pay toward the student’s educational expenses. The formula automatically adjusts for certain expenses, but families
sometimes have a decrease in income or other financial issues in a subsequent year that would not be reflected on the
FAFSA. If this year’s FAFSA does not reflect your current financial situation, we may be able to re-evaluate your
financial need based on your 2019 information and/or projected gross income for 2020. For dependent students, we
consider changes in income for the student’s parent(s) only.
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 work hours, loss of benefits such as Social Security or child support,
disability, separation or divorce after filing the FAFSA, death of a parent 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
