From: Macalester Financial Aid Office <financialaid@macalester.edu>
Date: On Monday, October 13th, 2025Thank you for your email!
I can share that Macalester accepts the CollegeBoard’s standard CSS Profile Waiver Request for the Noncustodial Parent, a form which we have available for download on our financial aid website. This form allows an applicant completing the CSS Profile to request that a particular parent be excluded from financial aid calculations, with opportunities to provide relevant supporting documentation. The link to the editable PDF can be found here.
You may choose to upload this form either via email directly or via our secure upload portal at upload.macalester.edu. We will ensure your form is sent to one of our senior counselors for review. If after receiving your request we determine that we require additional documentation, we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Best regards,
