Special Conditions Appeal

You may request a review of your financial aid if you believe your financial need has changed. Once you have filled out your FAFSA, submit one of two forms -- either the Special Condition Application-Dependent or Special Condition Application-Independent, depending on your student status -- to the Financial Aid Office. The Special Condition process will not begin until you have spoken to a Financial Aid representative.
Special circumstances include:

• Unusual medical expenses paid by student, spouse, or parent
• A significant reduction in earnings
• Loss of income
• Death of a spouse or parent
• Separation or divorce
• Disability
• Private school tuition expenses
• One-time income such as severance pay, etc.
• End of benefits (unemployment, child support, etc.)

*Students who have a 0 EFC do not qualify for a Special Condition Appeal.
