Application Details<\/h2>","content":"

International Students<\/h3>\r\nThe University of Rochester offers need-based financial aid to international undergraduate students. International students do not need to complete the FAFSA.\r\n\r\nIf you were born in the US and are now a citizen of another country, please follow the deadlines for a US Citizen.\r\n

Eligible non-citizens<\/h3>\r\nAn eligible non-citizen must be a permanent resident of the United States who is legally permitted to live and work in the United States. You may be required to show proof of your status to the Financial Aid Office by providing a copy of your Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551).\r\n\r\nIf you have questions about whether you are considered an eligible non-citizen for financial aid purposes, please contact us.\r\n

College Board\u2019s IDOC<\/h3>\r\nIn some limited cases, international students may be required to provide additional documentation to the College Board\u2019s IDOC Service, including institutional forms and relevant tax information. If you are required to send your application to IDOC,<\/a> you will be emailed by the College Board. If another school has requested IDOC information from you and our school determines that we also need that information, we will have access to the documents you've submitted in response to the other school's request. If we need anything further beyond those items, we'll reach out via email to let you know.\r\n\r\nTo ensure that you receive IDOC correspondence, please add collegeboard.org, collegeboard.com, and student-1.com domains to the\u00a0safe senders list on your email system.\r\n\r\nIf you have questions regarding the IDOC process, check out their\u00a0IDOC Tutorial<\/a> or call them at 1 (866) 897-9881. If you have further questions about the IDOC process at URochester, feel free to\u00a0contact your financial aid counselor<\/a>.\r\n

CSS Profile<\/h3>\r\nThe CSS Profile is used to determine your eligibility for need-based University of Rochester grant funding.\r\n\r\nBe aware that there is a cost for filing the CSS Profile, but the College Board is able to waive the application fee for those families that qualify. During the application process, the College Board will determine if you are eligible for the fee waiver based on the information you provide on the Profile.\r\n\r\nThe CSS Profile became available on October 1, 2025 for the 2026-2027 academic year.\r\n\r\nThe CSS Profile is expected to become available on October 1, 2026 for the 2027\u201328 academic year.\r\n\r\nOur school code: 2928<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCSS Profile details<\/a>","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","anchor":"application-deadlines","css_class":"","title":"
