The Colorado Department of Education's Commission on Higher Education requires students to have 750 minutes of seat time for each credit hour they earn. To prevent the College from running afoul of accreditation standards, we cannot permit time-conflict overrides under any circumstances, even if the amount of overlapping time is minimal.

However, instructors may arrange for students to take Independent Study credits instead of one of the classes. Departments can grant substitutions so that Independent Study credits satisfy a particular major or minor requirement.

Instructors do not need to manage their own waitlists; they are all automated. All classes have an available waitlist except courses with a required lab with a separate CRN (e.g., CHEM 150).

Students do not need instructor permission to join a course's waitlist unless they need an override to register. You can find more information from the student perspective on the registration page.

The Financial Aid Office can use professional judgment on a case-by-case basis to adjust the data used to calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI) or a student's cost of attendance.

This type of appeal means a student asks the FLC Financial Aid Office to review their dependency status to determine if they qualify as independent based on their family situation.

For the Financial Aid Office to consider an Appeal, the student must document an extreme, unique, and/or unusual family circumstance that prevents them from obtaining parental information.

Circumstances considered include:

• Abandonment by parents
• An abusive family environment that threatens the student's health and safety
• Inability to locate parents
• Incarceration or institutionalization of both parents
• Severe estrangement from a parent

Circumstances that DO NOT qualify for consideration include:

• Parents refuse to contribute to the student's education or are not supporting the student
• Parents are unwilling to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification
• Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes
• The student demonstrates total self-sufficiency

How to appeal for a Dependency Override

If a student believes they qualify to appeal for a dependency override, they must contact Skyhawk Station for the Dependency Override Appeal Form.

General Instructions

Students appealing for a Dependency Override must:

• Submit a signed Request for Dependency Override form, along with a signed personal statement outlining why they should be considered independent, their current living situation, how they are supported, and details of the relationship/situation with both biological/adoptive parents.
• Have a current year FAFSA on file with the "special circumstances" box checked without parental information.
• Submit at least two signed letters from third parties confirming the student's situation and/or an official document such as a court order. At least one source must be from an unrelated professional who can verify the student's situation (A third party includes, but is not limited to, a teacher, counselor, medical authority, social worker, or a government agency).
