What is a CEEB Code and How to Find It for Colleges?

I've heard about CEEB codes and how they're important for college applications. What exactly are they and how can I find a CEEB code for a specific college I am applying to?

5 months ago

A CEEB (College Entrance Examination Board) code is a unique identifier assigned to high schools and colleges by the College Board. This code is used to provide a standardized, efficient way to track and organize documents, such as SAT scores or transcripts, during the college application process. It ensures that your test scores and application materials are accurately matched with the correct institutions.

To find the CEEB code for a specific college, you can follow these steps:

1. Visit the College Board's website at collegeboard.org.

2. Navigate to the search bar, usually located at the top right corner of the page, and type in "CEEB code search" or "college code search."

3. Click on the corresponding search result, which should guide you to a page where you can search for a school by its name, city, and state.

4. Enter the relevant information for the college you're looking for, then click "search" or "submit."

5. In the search results, locate your desired college and its corresponding CEEB code.

If you have any difficulty finding the code through the College Board website, you can also try reaching out to the college's admissions office for assistance. They should be able to provide you with the correct CEEB code.

Keep in mind that many college application platforms, like the Common Application or Coalition Application, typically auto-fill the CEEB code for the colleges you add to your list, so it's not always necessary for you to find and input the code manually. However, it's still helpful to be familiar with CEEB codes and know where to find them if needed.
