We understand that there may be circumstances that impact your ability to pay for college, and these may not always be clear in your initial financial aid application. Maybe you or your parent's have experienced a change in income since the application was filed. You may have additional educational expenses that have not been included in your financial aid budget. Maybe you have changed your housing plan. If your financial circumstances changed after you filed your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or CA Dream Act Application, you may want to consider filing an appeal with Oxnard College.
The Financial Aid staff may be able to adjust the following if your appeal is approved:
- Changes in income
- One time educational costs
- Housing changes
- Changes in dependency status
