Financial Aid

Cost of Attendance Appeal

Students who wish to have educational or living expenses above and beyond CLU’s standard Cost of Attendance considered by the Financial Aid Office must submit a letter explaining what items they want considered, why the items should be considered, and include documentation of those expenses. Only limited items can be considered when calculating a new cost of attendance.

Items that may be considered include, but are not limited to, child care, purchase of computer or other large expense related to education, commuting costs above those already considered in the budget, additional unit charges (over 18 units), and living in a more expensive residence hall with a meal plan.

We recommend that students who are interested in submitting this type of appeal speak with a Financial Aid Counselor.
