Special Circumstances refer to the financial situations (loss of a job, etc.) that justify an aid administrator
adjusting data elements in the COA or in the SAI calculation.
Unusual Circumstances refer to the conditions that justify an aid administrator making an adjustment to
a student’s dependency status based on a unique situation (e.g., human trafficking,
refugee or asylee status, parental abandonment, abusive home environment, incarceration),
more commonly referred to as a dependency override.
