Based on your answers on the FAFSA, you were able to submit your FAFSA without parental information and as a result, were given provisional independent status. This provisional independent status allowed for the calculation of a provisional SAI and aid eligibility. However, to complete the processing of your FAFSA and be eligible for federal financial aid in 2024-2025, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid will need to confirm your independent status.
Students with a provisional independent status typically fall into two situations- they are either seeking a Dependency Override or they are experiencing homelessness. If you were approved for either of these cases in past years, you can renew for 2024-2025 without submitting another appeal (unless your circumstances have changed).
Keep an eye on your Student Center To Do List for more information about these processes.
