Special Circumstances and Professional Judgment
The University of North Georgia recognizes that changes may be experienced in the financial situation of a household. While the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines financial aid eligibility based on data from two years prior, the Professional Judgment process exists to re-evaluate a student’s aid based on certain significant changes.

How to Apply for Professional Judgement
If you meet one of the significant changes outlined in the Change to Expected Family Contribution (EFC) or the Change to Cost of Attendance (COA) sections above, simply contact your assigned counselor to schedule an appointment. Counselors are assigned based on the campus you attend and can be accessed on the Cost and Aid website.
