Paying for College

my mother is taking classes online at a college for an RN BSN program as an enrolled student though she is working in healthcare as a nurse and has a degree but out of the country 25 years ago. should I exclude my mom from the question below? I need to know. thank you

NPC question is " Including the student, how many people in the parents’ household will be enrolled in an undergraduate degree or certificate program when the student begins?"
(Please exclude siblings enrolled in a second undergraduate degree or a graduate-level degree)

If the question does not specifically state that you must exclude a parent in school, you can include her.

According to this document, you do not include parents in the count even if they are enrolled in school…https://studentaid.gov/2324/help/parent-household-college

The question is on an NPC, so I don’t think that the FAFSA description applies. And … for 2024-25, the number in college won’t be used for calculating the SAI. Instead, schools can use the response to identify students who might benefit from professional judgment that would require further follow up for determining whether to adjust allowable items to account for others in college.
