职业判断

The Financial 援助 Office at 威尼斯人平台 realizes that students and families experience unforeseen circumstances and/or expenses during an academic year. A financial aid appeal is a way for a student and family to communicate with the Financial 援助 Office about changes and circumstances that could not be reflected or explained on the FAFSA.

威尼斯人平台’s Financial 援助 Office exercises professional judgment on the following types of appeals:

  • 特殊情况下 are defined as changes in a student and/or parent’s financial circumstances.
  • 不寻常的情况下 are defined as changes in a student’s dependency status.
