Financial Aid
Gateway Dependency Override (Dependent to
Independent Only)
The US Congress and Department of Education determine the criteria for whether a student is considered
dependent or independent of their parents for financial aid purposes. How an applicant responds to the
dependency questions on the FAFSA determines the dependency status. Gateway CTC understands that
changes in the family setting can affect a student’s ability to attend and to pay for college. To address these
circumstances, HEA Section 480(d)(1)(I) and (d)(2) authorizes a financial aid administrator to use professional
judgment (PF) on a case-by-case basis in order to address dependency issues.
If you do not meet one of the conditions listed on the FAFSA to be independent, but believe you have
extenuating circumstances, which might warrant you being considered independent of your parents, for
purposes of financial aid, you may explain those circumstances in an appeal. Unusual circumstances that may
warrant a dependency override include abandonment by parents, an abusive family environment, unable to
locate parents, or other similar circumstances. However, the following conditions do NOT indicate unusual
circumstances and generally do not warrant a dependency override:
1. Parents refuse to contribute to the student’s education
2. Parents are unwilling to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification
3. Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes
4. Student demonstrates total self-sufficiency
It is the policy of Gateway CTC Office of Financial Aid to begin accepting requests for dependency overrides
January 1 for the upcoming academic award year. It is recommended that the request be submitted as early in
the FAFSA filing process as possible. Dependency Override documentation is critical to the process.
Documents must support, and include the reason for, the decision and should in almost all cases originate
from a third party with knowledge of the unusual circumstances. An acceptable third party is considered to be
someone – such as a teacher, counselor, medical authority, member of the clergy, prison administrator,
government agency, or court – that knows the situation and can provide documentation to support the claim.
The attached Request for Dependency Override along with supporting documentation allows dependent
students, as determined by federal guidelines, to appeal their status and request a dependency override
under certain circumstances. After review, the Financial Aid Administrator may request additional information
if desired. Submitting this application with documentation does not guarantee that an appeal will be granted.
All requests are considered to be decisions of professional judgment and the decision of the Financial Aid
Director is final. A Request for Dependency Override must be submitted each academic year to be considered
as the appeal decision does not roll over to a new award year.
Submit the request and all supporting documents to:
Financial Aid Office
Gateway Community and Technical College 790
Thomas More Parkway, Edgewood, KY, 41017
Or by Fax: 859-442-1107
