<p>These have all been answered in other places, but here goes nothing... </p>
<p>My mother's dead and my father remarried. Do I still put my mother as my mother? I did... And now it's asking for her phone number, and her address, amomg other things. She's dead, arghhhh! Can I put the funeral? I mean seriously, this is getting on my nerves... If my real mother's listed, I can't list step-siblings can I? I have only one real brother, but 5 step-siblings who my dad supports... They also have temporary guardianship of another child, too. If I mark my real mother as my mother, can I mark my step-siblings of 8 years as siblings? </p>
<p>Also, I live with my best friend... This is my permanent address, but not my dad's. It's okay to put that, right? I mean, I live here, I need my mail to come here, there's no legal problem with me marking my best friend's house as my permanent address is there?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Yes, you should still mark your mother. Right next to where you mark her as your mother, there is a question that asks “Is Parent 1 living?” Answer “No” to that, and you will be prompted to enter “Date Deceased.” You should be able to submit it without entering in her contact information if you do that.</p>

<p>You should absolutely list your mother on your Common App. When you answer the “Is Parent x Living?” question as No, you’ll be prompted for her deceased date. The only other information you’ll be required to provide about her is her name and college degrees. If she has college degrees you’ll be required to look up the CEEB code and college name.</p>
<p>As for your sibling and half-siblings it is your call about whether or not you include them on the Family section of the Common Application. Whether you do include them there or not, I would definitely recommend that you write up a very simple description of your family situation to upload in the Additional Information question. That will give the admission offices the more complete context of your family.</p>
<p>Regarding your address - provide your official permanent address. If that is the address you share with your best friend that is fine. On the Family section there is a question at the top - “With whom do you make your permanent home?” Just specify “Other” there so that it’s clear that you don’t live with your dad.</p>
<p>Hope this helps! Best of luck with the rest of the application process!</p>
<p>I already put the date deceased, but it’s still asking me for her address and phone number.</p>
<p>EliKresses, if you create a support ticket, they can take a look. That doesn’t seem right. I tried with my profile and it doesn’t require Phone or Addy.</p>
<p>Weird… Very weird. Well, I created a support ticket, because I’m confused. On another note, does anyone know where I’d mark summer programs held on a college campus that weren’t for college credit?</p>
<p>If you scroll down to the “Colleges and Universities” section on the “Education” tab, you will find “If you have taken a college/university course since 9th grade, check this box.” Check that box. Then, find the CEEB code for your summer program (JHU CTY is 5334, for example) and enter it in. List the location as the college/university where the program was held.</p>
