Who should create an account?

Written by Justin

For the Financial Aid application, only one Clarity account is needed for each household. The email used to create the account will be the main contact for messages from Clarity and from the schools you're applying to.

Both parents use the same login. Clarity doesn't have a way to invite or link a second parent to a Financial Aid application. If you live in the same household, both parents should log in with the same email and password and work on the same Financial Aid application. Don't create a second account.

We'll still collect information about each biological parent or legal guardian inside the Financial Aid application. You just don't need a separate account to do it.

Already created a second account by mistake? Log out and log back in with the email used to start the Financial Aid application. If you're not sure which email that was, contact our support team and we'll help you find it.

Important: If you are a separate household (legally divorced or separated), each parent needs to create their own account and submit their own Financial Aid application.
