Students must keep current the financial information about themselves, parents, and spouses, and promptly report any change in status to the Office of Financial Aid. It is best to report any changes in writing. Such information includes:

• a change in marital status
• a move from on-campus to off-campus housing
• a change in outside awards, loans, or earnings
• an increase in financial resources, including any increase of more than $1,000 in the student’s (and spouse’s) (or aggregate) gross income or assets, and any increase of more than $1,000 in the parents’ gross income or assets
• a change in enrollment status (full-time vs. part-time)

The Office of Financial Aid normally revises the student’s financial aid award to what it would have been had all the facts been known at the time the award was originally made.

Students should continue to keep the Office of Financial Aid abreast of any changes in their financial situation. Any questions about the revisions resulting from these changes should be discussed with the Associate Director of Financial Aid.

If the Office of Financial Aid discovers any substantial inaccuracy or any failure to correct these inaccuracies promptly, it may recommend disciplinary action. Failure to meet the requirements for reporting changes could result in total loss of assistance, a revision of past awards, and/or notification of relevant bar officials.
