However if you already started a CSS Profile application using your child’s College Board account before you read this section of the book, this process for a parent to create and use an alternate College Board account to complete a CSS Profile will not work. This is because the system will eventually identify that a CSS Profile form in the same student’s name has already been at least started. In that case, you will need to continue using the student’s own College Board account to log in and do any further work regarding that student’s CSS Profile.

For dependent students, parental information is required on the CSS Profile just as it is on the FAFSA. Yet some students who can be classified as independent students for federal aid purposes via the FAFSA may still find that parental information will be required on the CSS Profile; we’ll get into this later.

But perhaps the most confusing part for children of divorced, separated, or never-married parents who are living apart is that many colleges requiring the CSS Profile will also require a noncustodial parent to complete their own CSS Profile application. To make things even more confusing, that noncustodial parent will need to first create their own College Board account. And unlike the student and custodial parent who can use the student’s existing College Board account (though we do not recommend that), the noncustodial parent must create their own College Board account (as if they are a student), following our tips above on how to do that to access and complete their own CSS Profile. Don’t worry, we’ll get into this later as well.

There is a $25 fee for the CSS Profile (which includes one school report), with an additional $16 processing fee for each additional report—for a CSS Profile application submitted by the student and/or the custodial parent(s). A noncustodial parent will pay a $25 one-time processing fee for their version of the CSS Profile, regardless of the number of colleges that need it. Since you will have to pay this fee using a credit card or an electronic debit when you submit your completed CSS Profile data, you should carefully review each college’s financial aid requirements in order to determine which ones (if any) need the CSS Profile information. Certain users may be eligible for a fee waiver for an unlimited number of CSS Profile schools. There are also some private scholarship programs that require the CSS Profile and those will set their own application filing deadlines.
