The federal government allows financial aid administrators to take into account special circumstances which occur during the current award year that may affect the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the financial aid award. Some examples of special circumstances are:

• Recent unemployment
• Divorce
• Death
• Disability
• Large uninsured medical/dental expenses
• Childcare

Students wanting to request a review of special circumstance should contact a financial aid representative to discuss the changes in their financial situation and to obtain the Request for Review of Special Circumstances form.
