My Financial Situation has Changed. How can I get my Financial Aid re-evaluated?

If your financial situation has changed and the FAFSA does not accurately reflect your current circumstances, you may request a Special/Unusual Circumstance Appeal so that your federal aid eligibility can be re-evaluated.

4. Review & decision time line.
   • The Office of Financial Aid will review your materials. You should receive a decision (and, if approved, adjustments to your aid) by 60 days after enrollment.
