Maintaining Institutional Financial Aid Applications

Your institution can gather additional resource information about students and their families by using the College Board PROFILE application which is electronically supported by the System or by entering your institutional application on the pages in this component.

Note: The College Board PROFILE and institutional application data share the same pages. You might unintentionally create multiple institutional aid records for a student from these three sources, which could cause unintended INAS calculation results.

Note: Question marks or blanks on College Board PROFILE data files are converted or appear as zeros in currency based numeric fields.

For further information about the fields in this component, please refer to The College Board's PROFILE User's Guide, available to College Board PROFILE subscribers.

This section lists common elements and discusses how to:

Note: Beginning with the 2011-2012 Aid Year, the PROFILE XML file contains only the IM with Options calculations except for Custodial Parent, which contains only the IM Base calculation. However, INAS always generates both the IM Base and IM with Options calculations. This means that the Computation Data page displays data differently depending upon whether or not INAS has been invoked.

Note: Computation tables display no intermediate values until the INAS calculation is called using batch or online calculation.

The system displays the student's name, ID, institution, dependency status, application source, and aid year.

This page is designed to display computed need analysis results based on both the parent's and student's information. Therefore, the page displays a Parent Contribution Section and a Student Contribution Section. The following sections describe what each column represents.

Note: To more closely align interim calculation results with the Estimated Federal Methodology (EFM) computation worksheets from the College Board, the Computation Data page displays an N/A value for several fields. For parents of dependent students and independent students with dependents, EFM calculations display N/A for From Income, From Assets, Total Contribution - Income and Total Contribution - Assets fields.

Contribution Summary

The PARENT CONTRIBUTION section displays three columns: IM Base, IM w/Options, and EFM.

  • The IM Base column displays standard base INAS calculations. Although the IM Base calculation is not delivered as part of the PROFILE record, Oracle supports calculating the College Board's IM Base calculation if INAS is invoked after the initial load of the PROFILE record.

  • The IM w/Options column is the result of using the institutional options that you set up when you defined your institutional methodology. IM w/Options is delivered as part of the PROFILE record.

  • The EFM column displays the estimated federal methodology amount. Financial aid administrators are reminded that the EFM is always estimated and never official.

The STUDENT CONTRIBUTION section displays three columns: IM Base, IM w/ Options, and EFM.

  • The IM Base column displays standard base INAS calculations. Although the IM Base calculation is not delivered as part of the PROFILE record, Oracle supports calculating the College Board's IM Base calculation if INAS is invoked after the initial load of the PROFILE record.

  • The IM w/Options column is the result of using the institutional options that you set up when you defined your institutional methodology. IM w/Options is delivered as part of the PROFILE record.

  • The IM Estimated column displays an estimated calculation for the student's contribution. The IM Estimated result is based on using the estimated summer and academic year data. The FNAR computations for this section are based on nine-month calculation regardless of the student's dependency status.
