There is no cost to use CollegeData. It is a 100% free service.
You must sign up to use some tools and features of CollegeData, including College Chances, EFC Calculator, Compare Financial Aid Awards, Financial Aid Tracker, and the College Net Price Calculator. You must have a CollegeData account to add your Admissions Profile and personalize the Admissions Tracker and Financial Aid Tracker.
Signing up also allows you to save your favorite articles, colleges, scholarships, and Admissions Profiles to your personal Data Locker.

You should receive an email from CollegeData with account activation instructions within a few minutes after you sign up. If you didn't receive the email, check your Spam, Promotions or Bulk Mail folder in case it was delivered there instead of to your inbox.
If you still have the Pending Activation page open in your browser, you can request that the activation email be resent by clicking the "Resend activation email" link. You can also check that the email address the activation message was sent to is correct. If it is not correct, you can change it by clicking the "Correct my email address" and the activation message will be resent to the corrected address.
If you no longer have access to the Pending Activation page, you can access it again by logging in to CollegeData with the email address and password you created at sign up. After you log in, you will be taken to the Pending Activation page where you can request that the activation email be resent by clicking the "Resend activation email" link.
Check the link in the email you received and try again. If clicking the link doesn't work, try cutting and pasting or directly typing the link from the email into your browser.
We also recommend you try logging in to check your CollegeData account status or to request that the activation email be resent.
