If you or your family has extenuating circumstances that you believe should be considered you may
complete and submit a Request for Special Circumstance. Common special circumstances include, but
are not limited to: unemployment, decreased annual income, and parental divorce or separation. The
regulations do not allow us to consider high mortgage payments, car payments, or consumer debt.
Special Circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis. Federal regulations limit which
situations we can consider. Submitting this application does not guarantee a change in your financial
aid eligibility.
Important Information and Instructions:
In order for your special circumstance to be considered you must be enrolled in classes.
You must meet all federal compliances when the special circumstance application is processed.
DO NOT leave any questions unanswered. Incomplete requests will NOT be reviewed.
Dependent students must have a parent signature.
Provide ALL required documentation under the section that matches your special circumstance.
Failure to provide all the required documentation may delay the review process and/or result in
the denial of your request.
Submit all required forms and documents to the Financial Aid Office at the campus you attend.
Processing of this application takes 4-6 weeks from the time all required documentation has
been received. All Special Circumstance Applications are reviewed by the Director of Financial
Aid.
