https://financialaid.uic.edu/aid-process/change-of-financial-situation/
If a student, their parent, or their spouse (if married), experiences a change in their finances, the financial aid may be recalculated through a process called Change of Financial Situation Appeal.
Please Note: Students with a 0 Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the FAFSA will not benefit from submitting a Change of Financial Situation appeal form. The EFC is listed on the Financial Aid Notification available via the UIC Student Portal: https://my.uic.edu.
Next Steps: To submit a Change of Financial Situation Appeal, please contact a Financial Aid Counselor. The Financial Aid Counselor will provide instructions to upload documents to the UIC Student Portal: https://my.uic.edu.
After submitting documentation, SFAS will review and make any necessary corrections to the FAFSA. The Change of Financial Situation process generally takes two to three weeks. SFAS will send a request by email if we need additional documentation.
