<p>Collegeboard keeps sending me e-mails about filling something out called an IDOC? As far as I know, my schools only need a CSS and FAFSA and I've never heard of IDOC. Can someone elaborate what this is? The schools I applied to are Emerson College, Binghamton University, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Albany, SUNY Stony Brook, Fordham University, Ithaca College, Vassar College, Wesleyan University, Northeastern University, UMass Amherst, and Quinnipiac University - do any of these need an IDOC?</p>
<p>Some schools are IDOC schools. Vassar definitely is. Wesleyan is not. Their deadline for documents was February 15th. </p>
<p>When you submitted your CSS Profile, it told you which schools were IDOC schools and if a school wasn’t an IDOC school, it told you what documents you needed to submit.</p>
<p>The deadline for IDOC is March 1st, so get crackin’!</p>
<p>To verify the IDOC status of these schools, check their financial aid info on their websites, it says everything.</p>
<p>IDOC is just a service provided by the CollegeBoard to colleges that subscribe to it. Some schools that use the CSS Profile also use IDOC, others do not. It is merely a way to send them copies of your tax documents. When you submitted your Profile you should have received an email with instructions for IDOC.</p>
<p>That is very odd. It says that Wesleyan is an IDOC school, but when I submitted my CSS Profile, the only IDOC schools that popped up for me were Smith, Williams, Amherst and Vassar. Wesleyan wasn’t on that list.</p>
<p>I checked their website and printed out all information regarding their financial aid procedure; IDOC never popped up.</p>
<p>EDIT: Just checked their website again. It states: Please note that Wesleyan does not participate in IDOC for prospective students. Documents must be mailed to the office. We are unable to accept e-mail attachments or a fax.</p>
<p>^
Those lists are not woth much. Best to respond to the requests you get. e.g. for me I sent IDOC to CB for Dartmouth and Northwestern,
Brown didn’t want it from me and Cornell wanted it faxed or mailed.</p>
<p>Wesleyan does NOT use IDOC for prospective students. Once admitted then all future years are done through it. I mailed in all the forms and the award came with the acceptance letter, but all documents were hard copy and snail mail (with a receipt)</p>
<p>And Northeastern University only requires IDOC submission if one is chosen for verification, not for the initial financial aid submission (only FAFSA and CSS Profile required).</p>
<p>ok so Ive applied to Georgetown, amoung others… and originally they wanted my stuff from IDOC, not they dont… im thinking its likely that theyve rejected me already… what dya think?</p>
<p>I don’t think you should assume that at all, Fredrina. It seems Georgetown’s relationship to IDOC is a smidge confused. I doubt it has anything at all to do with the status of your admissions application.</p>
<p>Ugh this is so annoying, why can’t the schools be clear on whether they need IDOC or not? But thanks everyone for your help, I will complete it this weekend. Can they accept the form after the deadline?</p>
<p>^^You should also be aware that College Board takes a few days to process your documents and make them available to your colleges once your package has been recieved by them. In our case, it took 4 days and that was mid-February.</p>
