Innocent question here (CSS profile)

Should I fill Fall 2017 or Spring 2018, or Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 profile? I currently applying to several unis that require it so I assume that it’s Fall 2016 or Spring 2017, I just want to double-check if I’m right.

thanks

I believe that question relates to when you want to begin classes. Are you looking to begin in January 2017 (spring 2017) or in September 2017 (Fall 2017). Fall 2016 has passed.

@MassDaD68 I’ll be receiving most of my decisions by 03/2017, classes start later on so it is Fall 2017 or Spring 2018, isn’t it?

Most students who receive an accetance decision 03/2017 would enroll in college during the Fall of 2017. A few may defer enrollment to January 2018 but that would be rare.

It sounds like you too would be a Fall 2017 entrant.

Thank you @MassDaD68

The Profile you do is the one for the school year in which YOU will be attending. It sounds like you will be starting college fall 2017 so you would do,the 2017-2018 fafsa and Profile forms…because they are for the 2017-2018 school year.
