Non Custodial Deadline Missed

[srsttuf]

The deadlines for Boston University and University of Chicago is Feb 1 and I can’t get a hold of my dad. We don’t really talk and I’ve told him the deadline is today for non custodial CSS. He hasn’t submitted it yet and the deadline just passed. I’m going to try to get a hold of him later today to submit it. What should I tell the two universities?

Send each of the schools an email telling them about the delay. i imagine that they’re used to this. They may allow more time…or not.

When is the last time you contacted your dad?

I talked to my dad 2 days ago about the deadline, but I initially told him about it early January.

I thought University of Chicago didn’t require the non-custodial parent information…or the Profile. Is this optional there? I thought their new initiative a year ago made them a FAFSA only school with a short form of their own…for,just situations like yours…where getting info from a non-custodial oarwnt was difficult,

Hoping someone can tell me if I’m wrong about this.

ETA from the university of Chicago website. I could be wrong…but I don’t see anything here about the Profile. Where do you see that?

To apply for need-based financial aid at the University of Chicago, you will submit a few documents that allow us to accurately review your family’s financial situation. If you are only interested in applying for Federal student aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is all that is required. To apply for UChicago’s institutional aid, including our grant-based financial aid, submit the FAFSA as well as the University of Chicago Financial Aid Worksheet and a copy of your most recent tax returns.

Because each financial aid package is tailored to each family’s particular financial profile, we review these documents on a case-by-case basis. Although you may apply for financial aid at any time, we recommend that you apply for aid when you apply for admission in order to receive an aid decision in a timely manner. The information below is for U.S. citizens or permanent residents applying for aid. Non-U.S. applicants can find information on the international financial aid page.

Are you an international student? Although unless I’m missing something…there is nothing for University Of Chicago international students about the Profile either.

Please show the reference where U of Chicago requires the Profile.

Ok…on this it says you can substitute the Profile for,the University of Chicago worksheet. But why would you do that? The Profile has a fee…and the worksheet is free!

Also, the University of Chicago deadline on this link is February 15. Am I looking at old data?

Non-Custodial or Divorced Parent Information
We do not require additional information from students’ non-custodial parent. In cases where students’ parents are divorced or separated, provide financial information from the parent who has primary custody of or contributes more than 50% of the student’s financial support.
