Budget adjustments increase the cost of attendance used to determine financial aid. Students with the following expenses may qualify for a budget adjustment. To request a budget adjustment, students must contact the ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Financial Aid Office and provide documentation to support the increase.

Tuition and Fees

• Tuition and fees that exceeds a students estimated cost of attendance can be reviewed. For aviation, flight costs will be included in the budget for eligible students enrolled in the aviation major or minor. A standard allowance is used unless the student documents additional flight costs for the academic term.

Child Care

• Students with child care expenses must provide a written statement from the child care provider detailing a period of time and cost for child care.

Computer Allowance

• A computer allowance may be granted if a computer is required for the major, minor or applicable course work. Documentation will be required if the computer is not purchased through ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ.

Disability/Medical

• Students with disability and/or medical expenses not paid by insurance must submit documentation to support the expenses.

Transportation

• Students who travel more than 40 miles round-trip daily may have travel expenses factored into the budget using South Dakota's mileage rate.

Other

• Adjustments for other expenses (food, housing, equipment, clothing, etc.) will be considered as appropriate for a student's education and/or living expenses.
