Student Eligibility
2020-21 Dependency Override Appeal
Dependency status is determined by the answers to the questions in Step Three of the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and dependent students must submit parental information. If unusual circumstances exist, a
dependent student may appeal to be treated as an independent student and not submit parental information.
Approved Dependency Overrides are granted on a yearly basis. Therefore, a student who was granted a Dependency
Override must reapply for a Dependency Override in subsequent academic years until such time the student
qualifies as an independent student for FAFSA purposes.
