I have submitted the Profile and FAFSA. I’m confused whether I need to submit anything else. The FA reminder email told me only about Profile and FAFSA, and a few pages on the website only mention those two as well. However, the CollegeBoard website said I needed to send in business tax returns to Northeastern right after I submitted the profile. The financial aid checklist on NEU says only send in the extra stuff if requested. Is there anything I have to turn in other than Profile and FAFSA? There seems to be contradicting information by these different sources.
Go with what Northeastern asks for (CSS and FAFSA) - if they need extra forms, they will show up on the application status check. I’ve had to send in extra forms on occasion, but they won’t be due with FAFSA/CSS, only when asked for.
I got an email recently saying they have not received my parents tax returns, schedules, etc. I never sent those in because I did not think they were necessary, but I’ll get onto collecting them all. Are these supposed to be mailed or electronically submitted somehow? The email did not say how to send it and the website only mentions FAFSA and Profile so I’m not sure what to do. Boston College wanted everything mailed while some other schools wanted them submitted online through IDOC but I can’t find the info for NEU’s process. Did anyone else submit all of these forms yet?
@class0f2017 I sent them in last night. Just submitted a scanned pdf of the forms, responding directly to the email. I contacted my financial aid counselor shortly after (saw I made a slight mistake in my CSS while looking over the actual forms) and he made it seem like that was a perfectly fine thing to do.
If you’re worried though I would just call the number that they included in the email.
@Bozusaki I found an address on NEU’s website that they send to send financial aid info to so I was planning on mailing them. I did not ask a rep though.
Edit: Link below shows where to mail, email, or fax any extra documents for future reference. Click on “where should I send my documents?” Took me some searching through several financial aid pages to find it.
