How to Look Up CEEB Codes

What is a CEEB code?

CEEB stands for College Entrance Examination Board, which is an old name for College Board. A CEEB code is a unique identifier that College Board assigns to high schools, colleges, and universities. It’s also called a College Board code. Students use these codes at different points in the college application process to identify different institutions, including high schools, colleges, universities, and scholarship programs.

When do you need to find your school's CEEB code?

You'll need the CEEB code if you're applying to certain colleges directly or using the Common Application. It allows your school to submit forms and documents—such as your transcript—on your behalf.

How do I find my CEEB code?

Your high school’s CEEB code is often provided to you by your school. Sometimes, schools refer to it as your high school code. If you need to find your school's CEEB code, you can also use the K–12 School Code Search.

When looking for the CEEB code for a K–12 school, you'll need the name of the school and state or zip code to fill out the search form. If you want to verify that you have the correct K–12 school code, you can search using the code to ensure it matches your school. The codes for K–12 schools are always 6-digit numbers.

What is the CEEB code if I'm homeschooled?

The high school code for all homeschoolers is 970000.

What are Score Reporting Codes?

When you take the SAT on a school day (or register to take the SAT on a weekend), you can send your scores—for free—to up to four colleges, universities, or scholarship programs. The CEEB codes for these institutions are four-digit codes, and you can find them in the SAT Score Sends Code List. You can also send your scores online using your College Board account. The code search is built into the score-sending tool.

If you’re sending AP scores, you can also use the college code to search for a college or university when ordering score reports. You can contact the college or university’s admissions or registrar’s office to confirm their code.

Will I need any other codes?

In your college journey, you may need other codes, including five-digit codes assigned to test centers if you're registering online for the SAT on a weekend.
