提交请求A dependency override occurs when a financial aid administrator makes a determination of independent status for a student based on the student’s unusual circumstances. Independent status enables the student to complete federal student aid requirements without providing parent information.
A dependency override request does not guarantee approval and an approval does not necessarily mean that an adjustment will be made to a student’s aid offer.
Decisions are final and will be communicated directly to the student.

提交请求If a student is not under the custody of their parent(s) and are experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of becoming homeless, we may be able to assist with their dependency status determination.
提交联邦学生资助申请后(FAFSA), a student may be prompted to submit a homeless review form that will assist us in determining dependency status. Students may be required to submit supporting documentation from their high school official, or other youth specialists that may have assisted in a student’s determination of homelessness. 学生可以 星际官方赌钱 directly if they are not able to provide supporting documentation.
If a student has been determined to be homeless or at-risk of homelessness by a financial aid administrator at a prior college or university, the student can provide documentation of that determination from their prior college or have a financial aid administrator from their prior college email us at (电子邮件保护) 在这个过程中协助我们.
If a student has been approved at PCC for independent status based on a dependency override or homelessness in a prior year, the approval may be rolled over into subsequent years at the discretion of the Office of 金融援助 and 奖学金. Determination of this will occur automatically and you will be notified of our determination as soon as possible but not more than 60 days after your enrollment in a subsequent award year at PCC and a complete submission of a renewal FAFSA.
