Extended Profile

Overview

Some CASs include an Extended Profile page, which typically appears in or directly after the Create an Account page in the application. Applicants must select answers that can then result in parts of the application appearing or hiding.

For example, if an applicant identifies as an international applicant on the Extended Profile page, then a Visa section appears in the application, asking the applicant to provide their Visa details. If the applicant identifies as a domestic applicant, then they do not see this Visa section.

Extended Profile can also affect which programs applicants can view and apply to and their application fees to those programs.

What parts of the application can the Extended Profile section affect?

The Extended Profile section can affect the following items:

  • Additional questions appearing on the Extended Profile page (e.g., Degree Credential question appears if an applicant indicates that they do not plan to take college coursework)
  • Sections appearing in Personal Information, Academic History, and Supporting Information (e.g., Visa section for international applicants, Colleges Attended section for applicants with college coursework, Documents section for required document uploads, etc.)
  • Questions appearing in Personal Information, Academic History, Supporting Information, and Program Materials (e.g., Visa type and number for international applicants, etc.)
  • Documents appearing in Supporting Information and Program Materials (e.g., Visa document upload for international applicants, etc.)
  • Programs appearing on the Add Program page (e.g., graduate programs only for applicants who earned an undergraduate degree, etc.)
  • Program fees (e.g., alternate fees for military applicants, etc.)
  • Program deadlines (e.g., extended deadline dates for military applicants, etc.)
