If, when completing the CSS Profile, you indicate that your parents are divorced, separated or never married, you will need to have your noncustodial parent complete the 2025-26 CSS Profile as well.
Your noncustodial parent can begin the CSS Profile at any time, though they will not be able to submit their Profile until you have submitted your own. Click here for more information about creating a CollegeBoard account and submitting a CSS Profile as a noncustodial parent.
Notice: Noncustodial parent information is kept separate from the rest of the financial aid application and will not be shared or made available to the custodial parent.
Fee waivers
Fee waivers are granted automatically based on the information entered into the Profile application. They will only be made available to domestic undergraduate students who meet the fee waiver requirements.
