Applying for Aid: Transfer Students

• 1. Complete your CSS Profile (Custodial and Noncustodial Parents).

  cssprofile.org
  School Code: 5815

• 2. Complete your FAFSA.

  fafsa.gov
  School Code: 001536

• 3. Submit a signed copy of your employer W2s and federal tax returns (student, parent and noncustodial parent) to College Board's IDOC service.

  Please note that taxes must be signed with a pen; electronic signatures cannot be accepted. 

  If you parents are divorced or separated, both parents need to submit financial information. We will calculate a separate contribution for each parent and add them together with the calculated Student contribution to determine an Expected Family Contribution. 

  All tax returns must be translated to English and converted to U.S. dollars prior to submitting. Please use the date you signed the FAFSA as the effective date of the currency translation. 

• 4. Submit a copy of your Corporate tax returns to College Board's IDOC service.

  This is required if you or your parents if you filed an IRS 1065, 1120, or 1120S Corporate tax return. Please also submit all schedule K-1 documents and all statements.

  All tax returns must be translated to English and converted to U.S. dollars prior to submitting. Please use the date you signed the FAFSA as the effective date of the currency translation.

  After you complete the CSS Profile, you will receive an email from the College Board IDOC service with instructions on submitting the documents. All documents must be submitted directly to the College Board IDOC service. 

  If you do not intend to apply for financial aid and wish to withdraw your financial aid application, please complete the Financial Aid Status Update form at miami.edu/faupdate.

Students who are U.S. citizens or eligible permanent residents enrolled in the School of Nursing and Health Studies’ Accelerated BSN program who wish to receive federal financial aid need to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) only. (The CSS Profile is not required.) Your parent may also be required to submit their information on the FAFSA if you are considered dependent according to the criteria on the FAFSA.  If the FAFSA is selected for a review process called verification, additional income and wage documentation may be requested.  Please continue to monitor your email and CaneLink Student Center under View Financial Aid if additional documentation is required.
