The federal government requires DeVry and DeVry’s Keller Graduate School of Management to verify the accuracy of information on certain federal student aid applications. Selected applicants must submit requested documentation before awarded need based aid is disbursed. Students, and parents of dependent students, may be required to submit a copy of their prior-year federal income tax documentation and additional household information. Other documents may also be required. If information on any of the documents conflicts with what was reported on the application, students may be required to provide additional information to resolve the conflict. Failure to do so will result in loss or no receipt of need based aid.

If there are or have been changes to your circumstances that are not represented on your submitted FAFSA®, you may contact your Student Support Advisor to pursue an adjustment based on your unusual or special circumstances, as defined below. 

Within 48 business hours of being notified of your circumstances, DeVry University will provide you with the process and requirements, including any required documentation, that you must complete for the school to review your circumstances and determine if an adjustment can be made.  You will have 10 business days to provide any required documentation to your Student Support Advisor for review.  Upon receipt of all required documentation, the University will review your documented circumstances and determine if an adjustment can be made within 30 business days*.  All decisions will be communicated to you in writing.  All decisions are final, unless new information can be provided.

Special Circumstance - refer to financial situations such as a loss of a job, or excessive medical expenses that justify an aid administrator adjusting data elements in the COA or in the EFC calculation. Requests for an adjustment must be reviewed each financial aid award year.

Unusual Circumstance - refer to the conditions that may justify an aid administrator to make an adjustment to a student’s dependency status based on a unique situation, include but are not limited to:

·       An abusive family environment (e.g. sexual, physical, or mental abuse or other forms of domestic violence)

·       Human trafficking, refugee or asylee status

·       Abandonment by parents

·       Incarceration or institutionalization of both parents

·       Parents lacking the physical or mental capacity to provide support

·       Parent whereabouts unknown or cannot be located

*Please note that during our review of your circumstances, more information, including additional documentation, may be required in order for the University to make a determination. You will be notified, in writing, if this is required and you will be expected to provide that additional documentation within 10 business days.
