Boston University NCP Waiver Form

Thank you for contacting Boston University Financial Assistance.

We recognize that extenuating circumstances in individual cases may make it impossible to obtain information and/or support from a parent. If the noncustodial parent’s whereabouts are unknown, there is an established history of non-support, or there are certain other extenuating circumstances, we may be able to exempt the student from the requirement that the noncustodial parent also provide a CSS Profile.

Even if none of the circumstances noted above apply, we know that sometimes noncustodial parents are initially reluctant to provide information. We are happy to speak directly with them and often find that we can resolve their concerns. Providing information does not necessarily mean that a noncustodial contribution will be expected. But refusal to provide information or financial support will not, on its own, constitute sufficient justification for a waiver of this requirement.

To request a waiver of this requirement you must complete and submit a CSS Profile Waiver Request for the Noncustodial Parent via your MyBU Applicant Portal or email (finaid@bu.edu). Requests without supporting documentation regarding the circumstances will be denied.

We hope you find this information helpful. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this email or call 617-353-2965 to speak with an Enrollment Service Advisor.

All the best,
