STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT PLANS & CALCULATOR

PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT

Students may request an adjustment to their FAFSA based on Special Circumstances or Unusual Circumstances called a Professional Judgment on a case-by-case determination.

Special Circumstances refer to the financial situations (loss of a job, etc.) that justify an aid administrator adjusting data elements in the COA or in the EFC calculation.

Unusual Circumstances refer to the conditions that justify an aid administrator making an adjustment to a student’s dependency status based on a unique situation (e.g., human trafficking, refugee or asylee status, parental abandonment, incarceration), more commonly referred to as a dependent override.

A student may have both a special circumstance and an unusual circumstance. Joseph’s College Financial Aid administrator may make adjustments that are appropriate to each student’s situation with appropriate documentation.

Some examples of special circumstances are:

· Change in employment status, income, or assets

· Change in housing status (e.g., homelessness)

· Tuition expenses at an elementary or secondary school

· Medical, dental, or nursing home expenses not covered by insurance

· Child or dependent care expenses

· Severe disability of the student or other member of the student’s household

· Other changes or adjustments that impact the student’s costs or ability to pay for college

If you think you have special circumstances, please contact the Financial Aid Director, Rita Glenn at 402-475-5385 ext. 104, 3516 So. 48th St., Lincoln, NE 68506 or you can email at [email protected]. You will need to provide documentation to allow the Financial Aid Office to make a reasonable adjustment to reflect the student’s situation.
