If you or your family have experienced significant changes in income or have expenses that are not reflected on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), your special circumstances may be eligible for a professional judgment. A professional judgment allows a financial aid office to adjust certain elements on the FAFSA® to account for special circumstances that have not been adequately considered.

Special circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis and to ensure fairness and compliance with federal, state and university regulations, there are limits to the circumstances we can consider.

Because of funding limits, please be aware that a recalculation of your financial aid eligibility does not guarantee that any additional financial aid will be offered to you.

These are just a few examples of the special circumstances we can consider and the supporting documentation you can submit to support your request.

We appreciate that this may be a difficult situation and therefore stressful or uncomfortable to share, but we ask that you notify our office.  So we can better understand your special circumstance, you can download, complete, and submit our Special Circumstance Request Form.  Send the completed form along with supporting documentation to us (e-mail, fax, or mail).

Upon review, we may find it necessary to request additional information.  We will notify you of any change to your financial aid resulting from your special circumstance.  Based on the time of year, it may take several weeks.

In a limited number of situations, some students that would otherwise be required to submit parent information may be able to submit their FAFSA® and receive financial aid without it because of their unusual circumstances.

The FAFSA® will provide a student in this situation with a provisional Student Aid Index (SAI) and the student must follow up with our office for review of their dependency status and confirmation of the unusual circumstances that were not adequately considered.

Unusual circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis and to ensure fairness and compliance with federal, state and university regulations, there are limits to the circumstances we can consider.

These are just a few examples of the unusual circumstances we can consider and the supporting documentation you can submit to support our review.

We appreciate that this may be a difficult situation and therefore stressful or uncomfortable to share, but we ask that you notify our office. So we can better understand your special circumstance, you can download, complete, and submit our Unusual Circumstance Request Form.  Send the completed form along with supporting documentation to us (e-mail, fax, or mail).

Upon review, we may find it necessary to request additional information. We will notify you when the confirmation process is complete. Based on the time of year, it may take several weeks.
