Common App
Steps for Completing your Application through Common App
1. Go to Common App to complete your application for 4-year universities and some private universities.
2. Create Your Account.
3. Add Schools To Your List. The Common App presents you with the opportunity to search from over 900 schools (private, public, large and small).
4. Understand Your Schools' Specific Requirements. No two schools will have the exact same requirements - therefore your application process will vary for each school on your list.
5. Go to the College Board or ACT websites and request that your SAT or ACT scores be sent to the colleges or universities.
6. Request that a copy of your official high school transcript be sent to the colleges and universities. Students must make this request through their SchooLinks account. They can follow these instructions for assistance.
7. Males 18 years of age and older MUST register with Selective Service. It is the LAW and required to be eligible to receive Financial Aid.
8. Pay the application fee! Check with your Academic and Career Advisor to see if you qualify for a waiver fee.
