CSS Profile<\/h3>\r\nThe CSS Profile is used to determine your eligibility for need-based ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ grant funding. In situations where a student's parents are divorced, separated or were never married, the CSS Profile is required to be completed by both biological parents. Keep in mind that both parents use the same College Board website, but do not have access to each other's CSS Profile.\r\n\r\nResources to help you complete the Profile can be found on the College Board website at cssprofile.org<\/a>. Included on the site is the CSS Profile Student Guide, CSS Profile Overview and the CSS Profile Tutorial.\r\n\r\nBe 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.\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe 2027-2028 Profile is expected to become available on October 1, 2026.\r\n\r\nOur school code: 2928<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCSS Profile<\/a>\r\n

FAFSA<\/h3>\r\nThe FAFSA is used to help determine your eligibility for all federal aid programs.\r\n\r\nThe FAFSA is expected to become available on October 1, 2026 for the 2027-2028 academic year.\r\n\r\nOur school code: 002894<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFAFSA<\/a>\r\n

Institutional Documentation Services (IDOC)<\/h3>\r\nIn addition to the FAFSA and the CSS Profile, some students may be required to provide additional documentation to the College Board\u2019s IDOC Service, including institutional forms and relevant tax information. If you are required to send your application to\u00a0IDOC,<\/a> you will be emailed by the College Board. If another school has requested IDOC information from you and our school determines that we also need that information, we will have access to the documents you've submitted in response to the other school's request. If we need anything further beyond those items, we'll reach out via email to let you know.\r\n\r\nTo ensure that you receive IDOC correspondence, please add collegeboard.org, collegeboard.com, and student-1.com domains to the\u00a0safe senders list on your email system.\r\n\r\nIf you have questions regarding the IDOC process, visit the IDOC\u2019s Frequently Asked Questions section on the\u00a0College Board<\/a>. You can also check out their\u00a0IDOC tutorial<\/a> or call them at 1 (866) 897-9881. If you have further questions about the IDOC process at URochester, feel free to\u00a0contact your financial aid counselor<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIDOC<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","anchor":"application-deadlines","css_class":"","title":"
