The professional judgment alteration is valid only at 鶹. The Financial Aid Director may submit an adjustment without a signature from the parent or student, and the adjustment must be done electronically, via FAFSA Partner Portal. The reason for the adjustment must be documented in the students file, and it must relate to that students special circumstances that differentiate the individual student (not to conditions that exist for a whole class of students). The Financial Aid Director can also use professional judgment to adjust the students cost of attendance. The Financial Aid Director must resolve any inconsistent or conflicting information shown on the output document before making and adjustments. The Financial Aid Directors decision regarding adjustments is final and cannot be appealed to the Department. If professional judgment is used to adjust a data element, the resulting SAI must be used consistently for all FSA funds awarded to that student. USING PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT TO ADJUST AN INDIVIUAL STUDENTS COST OF ATTENDANCE BUDGET Consideration for a student budget will be made on a case-by-case basis with documentation of mitigating circumstances. Only the Director of Financial Aid can make Professional Judgment Decisions. The only considerations for student cost of attendance adjustment are listed below. There are no exceptions to this list: Act of God occurrences such as fire lightning, blizzards, tornados, flooding and loss of heat. Total loss of income within the last six months. Additional child. A portion of documented day care cost may be considered. PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT DEPENDENCY OVERRIDE DEPENDENCY OVERRIDES The Financial Aid Director will make dependency overrides on a case-by-case basis for student with unusual circumstances. If the administrator determines that an override is appropriate, she must write a statement detailing the determination and must include the statement and supporting documentation in the students file. However, none of the conditions listed below, singly or in combination, qualify as unusual circumstances or merit a dependency override: Parents refuse to contribute to the students education; Parents are unwilling to provide information on the application or for verification; Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes; Student demonstrates total self-sufficiency. Unusual circumstances do include an abusive family environment or abandonment by parents and may cause any of the above conditions. In such cases, a dependency override might be warranted. The Financial Aid Director may override only from dependent to independent. Also, Financial Aid Director can cancel an override that was approved at another school, since an override at one school is not binding at another. The law requires that the financial aid office at the school the student is currently attending determine whether an override is justified. Not only do dependency overrides not carry over from one school to another, they do not carry from one year to the next; if the student is not dependent for some other reason, the financial aid office must reaffirm each year that the unusual circumstances persist and that an override is still justified. Generally, the documentation of unusual circumstances should come from a third party that knows the students situation (such as a teacher or member of the clergy), but in cases where this is not available, the school can accept a signed statement from the student detailing the unusual circumstances. To override the students dependent statues on an initial application through EDE, the aid administrator should use the Dependency Override code of 1 (see the Application Processing Desk Reference or the EDE Technical Reference for more information). If the student has already applied, the FAA can use FAFSA Partner Portal to authorize or cancel an override; overrides are not possible to the ISIR. PETITION TO APPLY FOR INDEPENDENT STATUS Students seeking to change from Dependent to Independent status must complete and submit the petition to apply for Independent Status to the Director of Financial Aid. The Director may require additional information to support the students petition. The Director has the authority to use Professional Judgment to approve or disapprove the students position. Only the Director can make Professional Judgment decisions. The Director will notify the student in writing of the approval or disapproval of the students petition. PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT FOR INCOME REDUCTION The Director may consider using Professional Judgment to approve a students reduction of income if the student can provide in writing the reasons for the income reduction. The student must prove the circumstances that resulted in the income reduction. The student/parents must complete the Income Reduction Form and provide documentation for the current income status. The Director can approve or disapprove the students/parents income reduction if not properly documented. If approved, the income reduction may or may not result in the students receiving financial aid because of the funding available or the lack thereof.
