Appeal deadlines for each semester are published on the college calendar.

Each year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is completed based on prior-prior year tax information. For the 2024-25 FAFSA, students are required to provide their 2022 tax data.

If you have had a recent decrease in household income due to extenuating circumstances, you are encouraged to complete a FAFSA Income Modification Request to determine if your Federal Student Aid eligibility can be adjusted.

Extenuating circumstances include but are not limited to:

  • Change in marital status
  • 2023 tax information more indicative of your current situation
  • Reduction in employment within the last 12 months
  • Reduction in employment due to disability
  • Death in the household
  • Non-recurring income received in 2022
  • Reduction/termination of Social Security income

If one or more of these circumstances apply to you, please complete a FAFSA Income Modification Request. All students who submit a request must have a processed 2024-25 FAFSA, must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) eligibility requirements, and must be in good standing with any previous Federal Student Aid loans.

The request and all required documentation can be submitted through email, fax, or in person at Cardinal Central.

If you are unsure which request to complete, contact Cardinal Central at (208) 769-3311 or  CardinalCentral@nic.edu.
