Am I a Dependent or an Independent?

Your dependency status is determined when you fill out the FAFSA form. The majority of Undergraduate students are usually classified as Dependents unless specific conditions are met to render them Independent.

If you have questions regarding your dependency status refer to your Student Aid Report results from the FAFSA, or contact the Financial Aid Office at 617-879-2443.
