CSS Profile®. Opening on October 1^st every year, CSS Profile is the leading common aid application for nonfederal, institutional aid. Used by hundreds of colleges, schools, and scholarship programs, CSS Profile delivers additional data beyond the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and provides schools with an estimated Student Aid Index calculation. Now, CSS Profile is expanding access with a shorter application feature intended to reduce application based barriers to higher ed.

Are you approved and ready to reserve the exam session you want? Think strategically. Which part of the day are you at your best? Where will you take your exam that you can arrange for at least two hours of interrupted time? Will you need your IT staff to authorize you to download the Guardian Browser before exam day? While you can schedule your session anytime during each testing window, including on weekends and holidays, outside of NASFAA’s business hours you’ll need to rely on the proctor for support. To help prevent problems and delays, review the technical requirements and test your system in advance. One final tip: double-check your booking time because the scheduler uses a 24-hour clock (military time). If we can help, contact us at [email protected].
