<p>Hello. I graduated from high school last year and I also filled out & submitted my fasfa for a community college for the 2010/2011 school year. Before I explain my predicament, my mother passed away unexpectedly in 2006 and my father signed over his parenting rights to my sister, who is now my legal guardian (even though I’m a legal adult now). I also have SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) and a series of health problems as well. After I submitted my fasfa, I went to the financial aid office to fill out a dependency override form. After about at least about 6 months later, I was dropped from my classes. I re-registered for the spring semester and I was dropped again. I went to the financial aid office and they said there was a glitch in the system and they had to fix and re-submit all of my info. So I registered again for the summer and then I ended up receiving a notification for my 2010/2011 fasfa reward. When I went to claim it, I found out that my fasfa for the 2010/2011 year was voided and had to fill out the 2011/2012 fasfa (even though you’re obligated to do that). My question is, Do I have to fill out the dependency override form each year I fill out the fasfa?</p>
<p>You need to check with the college FA office. Since you were never registered last year you might be considered a new filer. With the school’s track record on enrolling you I would also follow up with the admissions office to make sure you get classes.</p>
