Does UTEP Require the CSS Profile?

UTEP does not require the CSS Profile and has no CSS Profile code. Submit the FAFSA with code 003661 or TASFA by the January 15 state-priority date, apply for the Excellence Scholarship by January 31, and use ScholarMine after admission.

CSS Profile

Not used

UTEP uses the FAFSA for eligible students and TASFA for students seeking state and institutional aid who cannot file the FAFSA. The CSS Profile is not listed. High school seniors apply separately for the Excellence Scholarship, while admitted students use ScholarMine for donor-funded awards.

CSS school code

None

UTEP has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA or TASFA plus the UTEP Excellence Scholarship and ScholarMine applications directly to UTEP instead.

Which parent files?

The student and contributors such as a parent or spouse create their own StudentAid.gov accounts when required by federal FAFSA rules. Both the FAFSA and TASFA collect personal and financial information about the student and family. UTEP does not request a separate CSS Profile household.

Documents and next steps

Use UTEP FAFSA code 003661. After the university receives the FAFSA or TASFA, check Goldmine for pending requirements and the completed aid offer, and submit only the additional documents UTEP requests. Scholarship applicants complete the Excellence form or one ScholarMine application separately.

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.
