NASFAA UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

AskRegs

Under the Higher Education Act, a student is an independent student if they are, or were immediately prior to attaining the age of majority, in legal guardianship as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in the student’s state of legal residence. Schools cannot “overturn” a court’s decision. That is, schools do not have the professional judgment authority to adjust a student’s dependency status from independent to dependent. However, there are some tools available to you if you suspect that a student’s legal guardianship was established solely for dependency status purposes. View the full answer to this question to learn more and search for answers to your other pressing regulatory and compliance questions, in NASFAA's AskRegs Knowledgebase.
