Budget Appeals
In determining the budget, the University applies a moderate estimate of living expenses to all students. Students who face higher costs due to extenuating circumstances may request a budget increase by submitting a formal appeal along with appropriate documentation. If approved, the budget increase would allow students to borrow additional loan funds, subject to lender or Department of Education approval. Appeals are not an entitlement and can be turned down by the Appeal Committee. All funding resources the student is receiving will be considered when reviewing appeal requests. The School is willing to hear any case but expects students to live within their means and use judgement and caution before incurring additional expenses.
