Change in Income Status

When students apply for federal financial aid their financial need is normally determined by each student's or families' annual gross income reported on the previous year's tax forms (2007 tax year) and is reflected in the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). If your income has recently decreased or you have special financial situations that were not taken into account on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), Student Financial Services may be able to re-evaluate your financial need based on your projected gross income for the 2008 tax-year. Please keep in mind that before Student Financial Services can reevaluate your file your 2008-2009 FAFSA must be completed and on file. If you believe you have an unusual circumstance please go to the Customer Service Options to discuss your situation with a counselor.
