Getting Started

You'll need your most recently completed tax returns, W-2 forms and other records of current year income, records of untaxed income and benefits, assets, and bank statements.

If you have a College Board account, sign in using the same credentials. This will save you time and help us apply fee waivers you received to your CSS Profile application. Only noncustodial parents will create a separate parent account. Learn more about creating a parent account on our Profile for Parents page.

Remember: You do not need to complete the entire application at one time. You may save and return to complete the application.

To make sure your application will be considered on time, submit your CSS Profile by midnight Eastern Time of your earliest priority filing date.
