PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT  |  Frequently Asked Questions

My Financial Situation Has Changed

What should I do if my financial situation has changed and my FAFSA® is no longer reflective of my current situation?

If your financial circumstances have significantly changed since the tax year reported on your FAFSA®, you may be eligible for a Professional Judgement Appeal. This process allows Harford Community College's Financial Aid Office to review your current situation and potentially adjust your financial aid eligibility.

Common Situations That May Qualify

  • Loss or Reduction of Income (e.g., Job Loss, Reduced Hours)
  • Divorce or Separation
  • Death of a Parent or Spouse
  • High Medical or Dental Expenses Not Covered by Insurance
  • Other Significant Financial Changes
Unusual Circumstances

What if I have an unusual circumstance and cannot provide parental information to FAFSA®?

If you're facing unusual circumstances that prevent you from providing parental information, you may be eligible for Provisional Independent Student status at Harford Community College. In such cases, you can complete the FAFSA® without parental details and submit an Unusual Circumstances Form instead. You will only be eligible for Unsubsidized Federal Student Loans, not need-based aid—unless a dependency override is approved by the Financial Aid Office.
