Does UConn Require the CSS Profile?
UConn does not require the CSS Profile and has no CSS Profile code. FAFSA-eligible students use federal code 001417, while qualifying undocumented Connecticut students use UConn's 2026–27 Institutional Aid Application. Both routes have a February 15, 2026 on-time deadline.
CSS Profile
Not usedFAFSA-eligible students submit the federal application each year for UConn financial aid. Undocumented Connecticut students who meet the university's residency and statutory requirements may use UConn's separate Institutional Aid Application for need-based university grants. Neither group files the CSS Profile.
CSS school code
NoneUConn has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA or UConn 2026–27 Institutional Aid Application for undocumented students directly to UConn instead.
Published financial aid deadlines
These are the school's currently published 2026–27 dates. A late or updated application cycle can use different dates, so confirm the deadline shown in your applicant portal.
Which parent files?
Dependent FAFSA applicants and their required contributors complete separate sections using their own StudentAid.gov accounts. Applicants using UConn's undocumented-student institutional form follow that application's household questions. UConn does not collect a second parent household through the CSS Profile.
Documents and next steps
Use UConn FAFSA code 001417. Beginning in March, admitted students are directed by email to the Student Administration System, where they can see required documentation, review the aid offer, manage federal loans, and open the College Financing Plan. Institutional-aid applicants should follow the tasks attached to their UConn form.

Estimate the rest of your aid
The CSS Profile does not tell you what federal aid you may receive. Estimate that separately, then compare the result with each college's net price and your outside scholarship options.
