“Your college lists non-custodial parent financials on the student portal? Really?”
The colleges have nothing to do with the Student Portal in Profile (maybe you’re thinking of a student’s profile at a given school?). The Student Portal I’m referring to is the CSS Profile’s Student Portal -which is privy only to the student (and family). The Student Portal (I’ll refer to it as ‘SP’) includes a list of the student’s application schools; what docs each school is still awaiting; a list of documents that the student has uploaded (eg: 1040s, W-2s, etc., from both custodial and non-custodial parents when there are custodial and non-custodial households in play); a document upload portal; and a ‘Update your family information’ link where a list of parents and marital status’ of both custodial and non-custodial parents reside.
For the record, I don’t work on the school-side anymore; my profession is in CSS Profile testing, QA, and customer service.
