Common data entry errors include:

• Not including suffixes in the last name that were included on the FAFSA. i.e. Evans Jr
• Using a nickname or shorter version of full name, when full name was used on the FAFSA Rich instead of Richard
• Extra spaces were entered between names on the FAFSA but not during account creation McFadden was entered Mc Fadden on the FAFSA.
• Special characters entered in name on FAFSA, and not entered when creating an account. i.e. La'Juan.

During the academic year, you and your family may experience a change in your financial situation, or you and your family may have unusual circumstances that resulted in a reduction of your or your family's income that is considerably less than what was reported on the FAFSA.

Students and families who experience a loss in income, may qualify for additional federal financial aid assistance. When completing the FAFSA, a student reports income information from two years prior. If you have had a loss in income and previously did not qualify for a Federal Pell Grant, you may be eligible for additional funds based on an income adjustment. Possible circumstances may include unemployment, death of a wage-earner (parent, if dependent; spouse, if independent), divorce or loss of untaxed income (such as child support). A review of your circumstance will require income and substantiating support documentation for the circumstance.

Each family's situation is unique and is reviewed on a case by case basis. Submission of an appeal does not guarantee approval. Families should consider alternative payment arrangements while waiting for the outcome of an appeal.

Each student will experience a different hardship so we encourage you to reach out to financial aid and speak to a Financial Aid Administrator so we may determine whether or not you qualify to file an appeal.  Schedule an appointment with CCNY Financial Aid Office.       

* All applicants that submits a special circumstance appeal must respond to CCNY Financial Aid Counselors document request in a timely manner.  Lack of response by the applicant to supply requested documentation will cause requested appeals to be denied.  Notification for additional appeal documentation is viewed in Student Forms.  

Students that are NOT meeting SAP will have SAP forms posted on to your student forms account.  If you are NOT making SAP and you do not see the SAP forms student forms account. Please contact the financial aid office to have our staff manual post your SAP forms.  Please review CCNY website for deadlines to complete the SAP process.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards for Title IV Financial Aid

All students must satisfy the following qualitative and quantitative academic standards in order to remain eligible for federal financial aid. These qualitative and quantitative standards refer to the following Title IV Federal Aid programs: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans.
Students will be measured against the Title IV Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards at the end of each spring semester in order to determine eligibility for the upcoming year. Those who fail to meet the academic standards will have their federal aid automatically suspended until they meet the minimum standards.

PLEASE NOTE: Students who can document that extraordinary or exceptional circumstances resulted in their failure to satisfy academic requirements may be able to apply for a waiver to receive federal aid for another semester.
