- Your alien registration number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- A Federal Student Aid ID
- Bank statements
- Records of untaxed income
The Financial Aid Office recognizes that you may have extenuating circumstances that affect your financial situation. If you believe the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) does not reflect an accurate financial picture, you may submit this request to have your FAFSA reviewed. The following are examples of extenuating circumstances: layoffs, reduction of income or benefits, unusual medical and dental expenses, supporting other relatives, child-care and dependent-care costs. Please contact our office should have have any of these circumstances.
