Under Professional Judgment standards, the school’s financial aid officer has the authority to adjust, on a case-by-case basis with adequate documentation, certain elements of the FAFSA which could potentially increase a student’s qualification for federal financial aid. Such adjustments are based upon special or unusual circumstances that demonstrate the additional need for financial aid. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, financial hardship owing to job loss, loss of financial support, estranged parental relationships for a dependent student, or other financial losses or hardships. For example, the school may change the status of a dependent student to an independent student increasing the availability of federal loans. The reasons for dependency overrides may include, but do not necessarily be limited to, when a student cannot contact a parent owing to: human trafficking, legally granted refugee or asylum status, parental abandonment or estrangement, and incarceration. Unusual circumstances do not include parental: refusal to contribute to a student’s education, refusal to provide information for the FAFSA or verification, failure to claim student as a dependent for income tax purposes; or a student demonstrating total self-sufficiency. Dependency overrides will carry-over to a subsequent award year provided the circumstances requiring an override remain the same. Shore’s decision regarding adjustments to your financial aid application, based upon Professional Judgement is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education. The school will use its reasonable best efforts to execute a dependency override or adjustments to data elements in the FAFSA in a timely manner, which should not exceed 30 calendar days from the time student has fulfilled all information requested by school to substantiate an increase to the student’s qualification for financial aid. If you think you may qualify for Professional Judgment, be sure to discuss this with Shore’s financial aid office.
