Missing Parent Information

If you have this item in your To Do list on My ASU, you have reported on the FAFSA that you are unable to provide parental information.

Instructions: 

You must choose one of the three options below in order for financial aid processing to continue.


Circumstance Required Actions
A. You are unable to provide parental information due to a special circumstance.The following are examples of some special circumstances:
  • Your parents are incarcerated; or
  • You left home due to an abusive family environment; or
  • You don’t know where your parents are and are unable to contact them (and you have not been adopted).
Submit a Dependency Review form to Student Financial Assistance documenting your special circumstance.
B. Your parents do not want to provide their information on the FAFSA or they refuse to contribute to your college expenses, and you would like consideration for a Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Submit a Request for Federal Student Loan Due to Parental Nondisclosure form to Student Financial Assistance.
C. Neither A or B above apply to you and you would like consideration for federal student aid. You must correct your FAFSA and include your parent's information on it. You must also notify the Student Financial Assistance at the Tempe campus in writing of these changes in order to continue processing.
