• Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes;
• Parents live away from student (out-of-state) or in a foreign country;
• 学生表现出完全自给自足.

However, we acknowledge that sometimes there are additional circumstances that occur separate of or in conjunction with these circumstances (above), do merit a dependency 覆盖. 这些包括:
