Special Circumstance Reevaluation Request Form
When a student and/or their families experience a change in circumstances (such as a loss of income or an increase in non
discretionary expenses), the income information, which was provided on the free Application For Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) or the cost of attendance established by the Financial Aid Office, may no longer accurately reflect the real financial
situation. In some cases, the Financial Aid Office may be able to adjust income information of the cost of attendance based
on these “Special Circumstances”. Adjustments to income or cost of attendance, however, do not guarantee that additional
financial aid will be awarded.
Student’s Name: Student ID:
Phone Number: Email address:
Were you required to provide parental information? Yes No
If you experienced one or more of the following changes in your income or expenses, reevaluation of your 20202021
financial aid award package may be possible (Please check all that apply):
Loss of Income
Job Termination Child Support Paid
Job Change Medical Expenses
Reduced Hours Dental Expenses
Disability Nursing Home
Retirement Funeral Expenses
Divorce Required Education Expense
Separation Transportation Expenses
Death of Spouse
Loss or Reduction of Social Security
Benefits, Child Support or Alimony
Please write or type a brief narrative detailing the circumstances leading to the request for reevaluation. Please be very
specific in your narrative (i.e., provide dates, names of employers, if applicable) so that we can be specific with our requests
for documentation. If you need additional space or prefer to type your narrative. Please attach a separate page. Our staff
will then send a request detailing the documentation needed to process your reevaluation. Examples of requested
documentation may include federal income tax documents, employment termination letters, paystubs, copies of paid bills
or receipts, court documents and other document as necessary.

Your Special Circumstance Request will be reevaluated only after the original FAFSA and all supporting documents have
been reviewed. If your special circumstance reevaluation results in increased eligibility for aid and funds are available, you
may receive additional assistance. If the documentation you submit to the Financial Aid Office results in reduced eligibility
for financial aid, however, you may be required to repay aid and/or previously awarded aid may be cancelled or reduced. If
you cannot provide documentation for your income projections (if applicable) you may be asked to resubmit your
request at the end of the 2018 tax year, when tax documents will be available.
Due to processing schedules, requests may not be reviewed during the following periods (if you have
any questions, please contact the financial aid staff):
July 15, 2020 through September 15, 2020
January 1, 2021 through February 15, 2021
Deadline to submit request and all supporting documentation:
April 1, 2021
