Frequently Asked Questions

Question

What if my finances have changed since I submitted my FAFSA?

Answer

We know life can change. If your financial situation is very different now than it was when you filed your FAFSA, the Financial Aid Office may be able to adjust your aid through a process called professional judgment.

A professional judgment allows us to adjust your FAFSA information or cost of attendance based on your current situation. It’s handled on a case-by-case basis, and you’ll need to provide documentation.
