What is Professional Judgment Request?
An aid administrator may use professional judgment, only on a case-by-case basis to change a dependent student’s status to independent, or to increase or decrease one or more of the data elements used to calculate the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The reason for the professional judgment request must be made in writing and accompanied with all the appropriate documentation. An aid administrator’s decision regarding a professional judgment request is “final” and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.
