Not all students are required to complete the CSS Profile. Our office will email you your requirements beginning in the fall semester, but you can always log in to your FAOnline account and review the \u201cRequired Documents\u201d screen in the 2026\u20132027 award year, once it is available.<\/p>\n

Resources to help you complete the CSS Profile can be found on the College Board website at cssprofile.org<\/a>.\u00a0 Included on the site is the Profile Student Guide, Profile Overview and the Profile Tutorial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Be 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.<\/p>\n

Submit your Profile to the University using our school code 2928.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
