• Each parent must complete a CSS Profile application. We recommended that the student and custodial parent start the CSS Profile application first. Then the noncustodial parent will need to create a College Board account and complete their CSS Profile application.
• If you do not have any contact with your noncustodial parent, then you may submit a request to waive the requirement of their financial information. Download the Non-Custodial Waiver Form.
