Quick IDOC Question - Institution Specific Documents

<p>Do I need to fill one out for Cornell and Brown?</p>

<p>Cornell's document is called "Cornell Renewal Financial Aid Checklist." The "renewal" would imply having done it already, right? So as a prospective freshman I wouldn't have to do it?</p>

<p>Brown's document is called "Brown Continuing Student Application." The "continuing" would imply having already started, right? So as a prospective freshman I wouldn't have to do it?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I could be wrong because my D is a freshman now so we filled out the continuing forms obviously. But I just checked Cornell’s website and it doesn’t say anything about submitting forms via IDOC for incoming freshman.</p>

<p>Check out <a href=“https://www.finaid.cornell.edu/forms/20102011forms.cfm[/url]”>https://www.finaid.cornell.edu/forms/20102011forms.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The IDOC is a part of the CSS profile.</p>

<p>It’s used to send in verification papers (W-2s, etc) so the collegeboard can accurately calculate your financial aid.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it’s required, for all students.</p>

<p>Well according to this form</p>

<p>W-2’s and taxes etc for incoming freshman are to be mailed directly to Cornell Financial Aid processing center. There is no mention of IDOC.</p>

<p>I can’t honestly recall if I sent anything to IDOC last year or not.</p>

<p>Cornell doesn’t use IDOC. You don’t need to send your 2009 tax returns to Cornell unless you choose to enroll there.</p>
