Forms
Loan Adjustment Request
Students may submit this form to increase, decrease, or cancel their student loans or replace all or part of their expected student contribution (EFC) with federal student loan funds.
Financial Aid Appeal Request
Students who wish to appeal their financial aid award package due to unusual circumstances or a significant change in income may submit this form along with supporting documents as outlined in the instructions. If you do not have a significant change in income but wish to be considered for the North Shore-LIJ Health loan only, you may also submit this form, completing Section 3.
Awards granted based on appeal are one-time awards and not renewable. An appeal must be submitted each year for reconsideration by the deadline.
The deadline to submit an appeal request for the upcoming aid year is August 15th. All requests will be formally reviewed after the deadline and determinations will be made by September 30th, unless otherwise notified.
Submitting a financial aid appeal does not guarantee an increase in your institutional aid award. Appeals are awarded based upon completed applications received and the availability of funding.
Cost of Attendance Adjustment Request
Students who have incurred additional costs during the academic year that are not included in the standard cost of attendance may submit this form.
Non-Custodial Parent Information Waiver Request
Students who do not have contact with their Non-Custodial parent may request to have that parent's financial information waived by submitting this form.
Private Student Loan Self-Certification Form
Students who borrow a private student loan must submit this form to their lender. The lender will provide it to you as part of the application process. Students are strongly encouraged to consider federal loans first and understand federal versus private loans.
