Parent in College Policy and Request for Information

The FAFSA asks parents for the number of family members that will be enrolled in college at least half time. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 exclude parents from being included in the response to this question.

Because we are aware that this could cause undue hardship for certain families, Buena Vista University may be willing to use professional judgment to include a parent in the number to be reported. However, all of the conditions on the following form must be met. If you do not meet all of the conditions, do not submit this form.
