If you were required to provide your parent’s information on the FAFSA form but are unable to do so because of unusual circumstances, MCC may be able to waive the requirement of your parent’s information. 请求这种豁免的过程称为依赖覆盖请求。

符合特殊情况的例子

An abusive family environment
Abandonment by your parents
Incarceration or institutionalization of both parents
Parents cannot be located

不属于不寻常情况的例子

Parents do not support the student or refuse to contribute to the student’s education
Parents are unwilling to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification
Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes
Student demonstrates total self-sufficiency

If your 依赖覆盖请求 is denied, then you must either include your parent’s information on the FAFSA or submit a 家长拒绝表格 to request a Federal Unsubsidized Loan.

如何请求依赖覆盖

按照以下步骤请求依赖覆盖：

• 完成本学年的FAFSA。 You must have a FAFSA application on file (omitting your parent’s information) before you can submit the 依赖覆盖请求.
• 完成 依赖覆盖应用
• 提交依赖覆盖请求表单
• 在线提交支持您的特殊情况的额外文件。 其他文件可以包括（但不限于）：
  
  
  • 法庭文件或警方报告
  • 住院记录
  • 能证明你的特殊情况的个人推荐人，如：学校老师、辅导员或校长
  • 儿童/青少年之家主任或辅导员
  • 牧师或神职人员
  • 近亲属
  • 其他能够准确核实你的异常情况的人

处理时间

It’s our goal to review student Requests and provide an approval or denial as soon as possible, usually within two – four weeks of receiving the student’s completed Dependency Override documents. 学生将被通知财政援助管理员的决定。
