  • Keep a file of all documents you use to complete the PROFILE application as you may be asked for copies for verification purposes at a later date.
    
    
  • Be aware that you do not need to complete the PROFILE application in one sitting. You may save the information you have entered and return to complete the form at a later date.
    
    
  • Important: Please do not hit the submit button until the application is complete. If, once the PROFILE is submitted, you need to make changes, you must notify the Office of Financial Support in order to do so.
