Professional Judgement
17吃瓜在线 understands that despite all your financial planning to manage your school costs, sometimes your financial situation may change. For example, your household may no longer be receiving the amount of income reported on your last Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that now affects your ability to cover your school costs. We may be able to help!
Professional Judgement Information
There can be certain situations that can create a challenge for you to cover your school costs, but this does not mean you have to stop your educational goals. Federal regulations allow schools to make limited exceptions or adjustments to information reported on your FAFSA, known as ‘Special and/or Unusual Circumstances’. Ogle uses ‘Professional Judgment’ to assess such circumstances to determine what additional assistance Ogle may be able to offer you. Each situation is considered on a case-by-case basis and will require additional supporting documentation. Due to the comprehensive nature of the review process, it may take approximately 4 – 6 weeks for a decision to be made regarding such requests. If you feel you have a special or unusual circumstance, please contact our office for more information.
What is a Special and/or Unusual Circumstance?
- Change in employment status, income or assets;
- Change in housing status (e.g., homelessness);
- Other changes or adjustments that impact the student’s costs or ability to pay for college.
This is not an exhaustive list. Ogle may use discretion to make appropriate, reasonable adjustments to reflect a student’s situation more accurately. These adjustments may or may not include an adjustment to your Cost of Attendance (COA), or your maximum aid limit.
