Appeals are processed by the Office of Financial Aid and are typically reviewed once/week by the Appeals Committee. You should expect to hear back within two weeks of submitting your Appeals request (as long as you have submitted all of your supporting documents). In the box below, please outline the circumstances in which you are appealing your financial aid award.

Please be aware of the following:

You typically must provide supporting documentation for your appeal letter. Additional information about what kind of supporting documentation is necessary for your appeal, and what types of appeals are honored, is available on our website: https://www.oxy.edu/financial-aid/special-circumstances
All supporting appeal documents should be uploaded through IDOC.
This appeals process is exclusively for families whose information has changed in regard to their need-based financial aid award.
Students are considered for merit-based awards at the time of admission. Decisions regarding merit-based scholarships are final. There is no appeals process for merit-based awards.
We will communicate with you via email. Please add finaid@oxy.edu to your email contacts so that our messages are not being sent to your Spam folder.
