Income Change/Special
Circumstance Appeal
(Dependent student)
PLEASE NOTE: You must have filed a 2021-2022 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 and asset information
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 2020 information and/or projected gross income for 2021. For dependent
students, we typically 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 supplemental 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
