We have calculated profiles for the CIV 1550 doublet arising in an accretion shock in a T Tauri star assuming that (i) the accretion zone at the stellar surface is axially symmetric (a circular spot or spherical belt), (ii) the velocity and density of the gas in front of the shock do not vary within the accretion zone, and (iii) the gas falls radially inward toward the star. The calculated CIV 1550 profiles differ qualitatively from those observed in the spectra of T Tauri stars, probably because the velocity of the infalling gas in T Tauri stars has a tangential component of some tens of km/s due to the nonradial magnetic field near the stellar surface.
