If these circumstances would possibly affect the student’s eligibility for financial aid, the student is encouraged to fill out a DCC Petition for Review based on Extenuating Circumstances and submit it to the Office of Financial Aid, accompanied by sufficient third party documentation to support the student’s request. The petition can be picked up at the Office of Financial Aid or downloaded from this link. Please Note: You must file a 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before submitting this form. Also you must complete and submit to the Office of Financial Aid a Verification Worksheet, photocopies of the 2007 tax returns & W-2s. (dependent students must include signed photocopies of parent’s 2007 taxes and W-2s) Examples of extenuating circumstances include separation, divorce, death of a parent or spouse, or a significant loss of income. A loss of income could be due to any of the above-mentioned situations or result from the loss of a job, significant medical expenses, etc. Once the aid officer receives the request with supporting documentation, a committee in the Office of Financial Aid will evaluate it. Upon completion of the evaluation, the determination of whether the request warrants reconsideration will determine if the information is then resubmitted to the federal government. The student will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid regarding the status of their request.
