REQUEST TO CONSIDER PROJECTED INCOME (RPI) OVERVIEW

The Federal Department of Education allows the College Financial Aid Office to use our professional judgment to reevaluate federal aid eligibility.  The College Financial Aid Office can take into consideration situations not reflected in the initial FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). We provide this reevaluation in situations where the family income is lower for the 2007-08 school year compared to the 2006 calendar year income you are required to report on the FAFSA.  This reevaluation may increase the amount of federal grant, loan, or work-study program you qualify for the school year.  If approved, the reevaluation is retroactive to the beginning of the award year (Fall 2007 semester).  This approval is good only for awards made for attendance at City College of San Francisco.  Your increased award does not automatically transfer to another school in the 2007-08 award year.  Contact that new school to determine what situations can be reevaluated using their professional judgment process.

SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2007 = EARLIEST DATE RPI FORM CAN BE SUBMITTED

STEPS TO PROCESS

1. Complete the 2007-08 FAFSA providing income for the 2006 calendar year. The results of this application must be available to our financial aid office before the Request to Consider Projected Income (RPI) form can be reviewed by this office.

2. Provide the completed Request to Consider Projected Income (RPI) form to our Financial Aid Office.  Attach a written explanation with all documentation required based on the Section B chart of the form.  Attach copies of any documents (i.e. pay-stubs, agency letters) you are including with the form as these become part of your permanent financial aid file. IMPORTANT-Be specific in your letter regarding beginning and ending dates of employment, receipt or loss of public benefits, or any other changes.

3. Provide us a copy of your 2006 federal 1040 tax return (if filed) and your parents’ tax return (if dependent) and fill out Verification Worksheet(s) for 2007-08 award year if you have not already done so.

4. If approved, your FAFSA will be updated by our office and sent electronically to the federal processor for a revised official eligibility result (EFC-Expected Family Contribution).

5. After your FAFSA is updated, approximately one to two weeks later the federal processor will provide an electronic response to the College.  This result will be used to finalize your eligibility. An award notification letter will be mailed to you from the City College of San Francisco Financial Aid Office indicating the new award.  You may also receive an updated Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor.  Keep this SAR for your own records.

6. Payments for any additional grant or loan eligibility will be made based on the CCSF Financial Aid disbursement calendar included with your original award notification.  A revised award notification will be sent to you from CCSF Financial Aid to confirm any new award eligibility.
