Things change, life happens
Sometimes the information you provide on the FAFSA no longer accurately reflects your financial situation. There are certain circumstances in which financial aid professionals at SUNY Adirondack can review and update your FAFSA. This review of special circumstances is called a Professional Judgment.
A financial aid Professional Judgment is a way for students to explain changes to income, life circumstances, or unusual expenses not reflected on the FAFSA to see if it may result in a change to their federal aid eligibility. Typically special circumstances that are considered under this process are unusual and must be thoroughly documented. Please view the information below to determine if a financial aid professional judgment will benefit you.
