Appeal/Declaration of Special Circumstances
You and your family may request a reevaluation of your offer of financial assistance. Appeals should be submitted in writing with supporting documentation of any changes that have occurred in your family situation. Documentation should provide specific financial details for consideration of a recalculation. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for more detailed information on what is needed to document your specific circumstance.
Examples of special circumstances include such situations as loss of wages, unusual medical expenses or change in parent marital status. The Financial Aid Office will grant additional assistance for approved appeals on a funds-available basis. You will be notified in writing regarding the outcome of your appeal. If additional information is required, you will be notified and urged to respond promptly.
