136A.1312 FINANCIAL AID ADMINISTRATOR, PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT.
Nothing in this chapter or in the office's rules shall be interpreted as limiting the ability of
student financial aid administrators, on the basis of adequate documentation, to make necessary
adjustments to the cost of attendance and expected family contribution computations to allow
for treatment of individual students with special circumstances, with the exception of the cost of
attendance defined under section 136A.121, subdivision 6. In addition, nothing in this chapter
or in the office's rules shall be interpreted as limiting the ability of the student financial aid
administrator to use supplementary information about the financial status of eligible applicants
with special circumstances in selecting recipients of state financial aid and determining the amount
of awards. Nothing in this section precludes a financial aid administrator from establishing an
appeals process for other extenuating circumstances.
