Parents, please find the New Student Checklist here. This is a checklist of items that students who have paid their deposit need to complete before they start classes this fall.

REMEMBER UPCOMING FINANCIAL AID DEADLINES

We strive to reward your student’s academic achievement and consider your family’s financial circumstances as we work with you to support your student’s educational goals. If you have not already done so, please follow these instructions:

Simply submit the FAFSA and CSS Profile™ by your chosen application deadline: November 1 for Early Decision I and Early Action or January 15 for Early Decision II or Regular Decision. These are priority deadlines.

1. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
U.S. and dual citizens and permanent residents seeking eligibility for federal and state sources of aid must submit the FAFSA each year. Visit to file the FAFSA. Use SMU school code 003613.

2. The CSS Profile™
For SMU opportunity grants, you must submit a CSS Profile™ financial application each year. This will give our financial aid advisors more information to further assess your financial need. There is a $25 cost for completing the CSS Profile™. Visit  to file the CSS Profile™. Use SMU school code 6660.
