There are specific costs that may be considered as an adjustment to Cost of Attendance.  If this applies to you, submit the Budget Adjustment Form to the Financial Aid Office for review.  Examples of these cost adjustments may include:

Child Care

Child care and/or dependent care expenses incurred to care for a child or other dependent may be allowed as an addition to the Cost of Attendance.  The dependent must be part of your household, and the care must be required for you to attend classes.  For example, if the dependent child is a child who is in school during the same time you attend classes, a dependent care allowance would not be included.  Likewise, if the spouse is normally at home to provide care, an allowance would not be appropriate.  Actual costs incurred are considered, and documentation must be provided.

Disability-Related Expenses

If you have a disability, an allowance may be considered for those expenses related to the disability, including special services, transportation, equipment, and/or supplies that are reasonable and required for pursuit of an eligible program of study and not provided by other assisting agencies.  You must be able to justify and document these costs.

Computer 

Computer costs will be reviewed on a case by case basis with appropriate documentation (such as a receipt of purchase) in accordance with federal regulations.  On request a one-time adjustment may be added to a student's Cost of Attendance.  

Books and Supplies

You can expect to have varied costs per semester for books and supplies.  The average/estimated component in the annual/published Cost of Attendance is meant to be a guide. Depending upon your field of study and/or your course load, you may have additional costs for required text books and/or course materials.  You may submit for review an appeal for consideration of extraordinary expenses by providing to our office a written statement of your expenses and copies of receipts showing book and supply purchases.  Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis and within a reasonable amount, we may approve an adjustment to your Cost of Attendance.

Other Costs

Students may request cost adjustments based on documented expenses.  Requests must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid Office along with the appropriate supporting documentation.  Please email the Financial Aid Office with any questions.
