Changes in Financial Circumstance

Students may request consideration of their financial aid awards due to unusual or exceptional circumstances above and beyond the student's/parents' control, such as loss of employment, divorce/separation/death of parent, loss of untaxed income (social security benefits) or loss of unemployment benefits. 

Such requests must be made in writing on a Special Conditions form and submitted with all required documentation.
