<p>Hello. I sent an application to Brown University last week for the CSS non-custodial profile to be waived. Today, I checked my account on Brown's website and under the financial aid section under Unsatisfied Requirements it says CSS profile (because I havent submitted it yet), but under satisfied requirements its says:</p>
<p>Satisfied Requirements Requirement, Status, As of Date
Non custodial parent waiver, Satisfied, Jan 03, 2012</p>
<p>Does this mean my petition for a waiver was granted and I dont have to fill out the non-custodial profile?</p>
<p>Thanks for you help! :)</p>
<p>I believe it simply means that they’ve received your paperwork asking for the NCP profile to be waived. The NCP profile will need to be filled out either way - irrespective of whether Brown decides to waive it. They will likely send you a notification, after you sent all the information, whether they will allow the waiver or not.</p>
<p>I agree with JoMarch, that the status update means that they have received your request for a non-custodial waiver, not that they have acted upon it.
Remember 1/3/12 is the first business day of the year, which means that this is most likely when the school opened after the christmas break.</p>
<p>The school will inform you in writing, whether or not they are approving your waiver . However, based on your previous post that your parents had a nasty divorce and your father’s unwillingness to pay anything after the support agreement ends, it is highly unlikely that the waiver will be granted.</p>
