Common App linking with Naviance
Common is a great way to apply to multiple schools from one platform and allows for us to send your transcript electronically. This video explains how to link Naviance to Common App https://www.screencast.com/t/gxEQkElyo
- You can apply through Common App (make sure to match your account in Naviance) or apply through the college website.
- Read through each school's application requirements on their admissions website.
- In NAVIANCE - Navigate to Colleges > Colleges I'm applying to * Use the drop-down arrow and select how you will submit your application (Common App or through the college website). *
- Use the check box to indicate if your application has already been submitted from the menu options.
- If you select Add Application, the college is added to Colleges I'm Applying To.
- If your college requires a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION- request, in person of the teacher first, then come to counseling and work with Ms. Yeager who will use Naviance to invite the teacher to upload their letter and any other docs. Teachers write one letter for all of your college applications. Please request letters from teachers at least two weeks in advance of the deadline. Only ask for a recommendation letter if the school requires one.
Important - You need to submit your application to the college first, BEFORE you request a transcript to be sent. The school must have an applicant in their system in order to match the transcript to.
- THE LAST STEP- REQUEST A TRANSCRIPT!- Click here to access the BCHS google form to request a transcript. This is how you request an official transcript be sent to the college you are applying to. Instructions for applying to college can be found here.
As you are starting to think about the college application process, be sure to also make yourself aware of the Free Application for federal Student Aid FAFSA and the Colorado Application for State Financial Aide (CASFA).
