<p>I'm currently a freshman and am wondering when is the best time for us to renew our FAFSA and PROFILE. My school hasn't said anything about the renewal and I remember it was about time of year that I did it last year. So, we HAVE to renew our FAFSA in order to get aid next year right? How about PROFILE? Do we have to renew that if our school uses PROFILE? THanks.</p>
<p>Yes. Check the website of your college. It will give you this information.</p>
<p>They are usually not due as early as they were the first year. I think they were due March or so for my son. You can probably wait until tax forms are complete and not have to estimate. But definitely check the college website. You will have to renew both, if both were required the first year.</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>Also, you may not need to do the Profile again. At the school my son attends, we only needed to do the Profile before he was admitted and that was enough.</p>
