Dependency Override

Students who do not meet the federal criteria to be considered independent based on the the current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
may submit this form with supporting documentation for review to determine if unusual circumstances exist for granting a
dependency status override. Dependency overrides are reviewed on a case-by-case basis for students with extenuating circumstances
and are evaluated each award year.

The following are circumstances that will NOT be considered:

Parent(s) refusal to contribute to the student’s education;
Parent(s) did not claim student on their tax returns;
Parent(s) unwillingness to provide information on the FAFSA;
Student demonstrates total financial self–sufficiency.

Reason for Request

Income Adjustment

Kingsborough Community College (KBCC) recognizes that special circumstances may occur after the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was completed,

which may affect a student’s eligibility for Federal financial aid. If you, your spouse or parent(s) have experienced a significant decrease in income since the income used on the FAFSA

due to one of the conditions described on this form, you may be eligible for an Income Adjustment.

Please give the Financial Aid Office 2 - 3 business days before checking CUNYfirst > Student Service Center > Task and Holds for the Professional Judgement checklist to appear. There you will see a link to Student forms and then complete the next step of what you requested.
