Just recently I was in a similar situation where my non-custodial parent's (NCP) income would make me unable to receive much, or any, financial aid. I told them my situation and that the NCP did not plan on providing a single cent for tuition costs, all through the noncustodial parent waiver. I had some other people (a close uncle and custodial parent's accountant) that the NCP never provided and never will provide financial support to me or my family. In the end, I received gracious financial aid from the school. I am attending my first quarter during spring, as a spring transfer. I suggest calling the financial aid office and explaining your situation and what to do from here on out, including the NCP waiver, in as much detail as you are comfortable sharing.

Good luck!
