Special Circumstance Re‐evaluation 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

Please write or type a brief narrative detailing the circumstances leading to the request for re‐evaluation. 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 re‐evaluation. 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.
