2015-2016 CSS NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT WAIVER REQUEST - INSTRUCTIONS
Drexel University requires all undergraduate applicants to submit information on both of their biological/adoptive parents
regardless of their marital status, in order to be considered for institutional need-based aid. In certain circumstances Drexel may waive this part of the CSS Profile; this form can be used to request such a waiver.
Circumstances in which Drexel would approve a waiver of the non-custodial parent form include instances in which there
has been a prolonged absence of contact with the non-custodial parent and their whereabouts are unknown or contact with
the non-custodial parent would represent a detriment to the student’s safety.
Please note that a parent’s unwillingness to provide information is not grounds for requesting a waiver of this
requirement.

your non-custodial parent, including frequency of contact you have had, a history of any financial support received,
and any other information that you believe will help us to better understand the circumstances that have led you to
request this waiver.
Include supporting documentation with your request and personal statement. Documentation can include a letter from
an attorney, member of the clergy, therapist, teacher or guidance counselor who is familiar with your circumstances
and is in a position to verify your explanation of the situation. We will also accept legal/court documents that specifically declare that your non-custodial parent is unable to provide financial support. Be sure that the individual writing
