Parent Information Requirement - when parents are married to each other

Financial aid applicants with living parents are required, by University policy, to submit parental income and asset information even if they are not required to provide parental information on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). An applicant’s eligibility for University aid is based on student and parent resources.

Students with parents who are currently married to each other and believe that it is impossible to provide parental information may use the Parent Information Waiver Request form to petition for a waiver of this requirement.

* Please do not confuse this process with the process for requesting a waiver of a Noncustodial Parent PROFILE. If your parents are not married to each other and you are seeking a waiver of the requirement that you provide a Noncustodial Parent PROFILE, submit the Noncustodial Parent PROFILE Waiver Request form.
