Dependency Override
Students not meeting federal criteria for independent status may request a professional judgment adjustment to override the federal criteria. Dependency overrides will only be considered on a case-by-case basis due to “unusual circumstances.”
Circumstances that do merit a dependency override include:
- Abandonment by parents;
- Abusive Family Environment that threatens the student’s health or safety;
- Student unable to locate parents;
- Other unusual circumstances.
The phrase “unusual circumstances” means: unusual circumstances that make it inappropriate to expect a parental contribution for the student. The Department of Education has identified four conditions that, individually or in combination with one another, do not qualify as “unusual circumstances.”
Circumstances that do not merit a dependency override include:
1. Parents refusing to contribute to the student’s education;
2. Parents unwillingness to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification;
3. Parents not claiming the student as a dependent for income-tax purposes;
4. Student demonstrating total self-sufficiency.
Note: Dependency override approvals do not carry over from one year to the next. Please complete this form for each year you file a FAFSA.

Special Circumstances Appeal
We recognize that the FAFSA may not always portray a clear picture of your financial situation. Although considerations for specific situations are limited, we may be able to give additional consideration for certain situations as described below. Special Circumstance Appeals are considered after you receive your initial financial aid offer for the current academic year. All files requesting special circumstance consideration are verified. Tax documents and other documents pertaining to the circumstance are required. Submitting a special circumstance request does not guarantee an adjustment will be made to your aid package. Decisions are final and will be communicated directly to the student. If approved, any additional funding awarded is only available for the academic school year for which the special circumstance is approved. Special circumstances must be reviewed annually.
Examples of Special Circumstances Considered:
• Loss or reduction of income (layoff, illness, forced reduction of hours, temporary employment, etc.)
• Private elementary and secondary tuition for siblings, not including the Evangel applicant
• Catastrophic unreimbursed medical/dental expenses
• Non-recurring payments received during the prior tax year
• Loss of unemployment, disability, social security, veterans, child support, or alimony benefits
