Most colleges prefer students to apply using the Common Application, also known as the Common app. The Common Application is a web based application that students may use to apply to several colleges in less time. Students must create an account to begin the application process. The common application does require a recommendation from the counselor, as well as others. Take note that when entering the counselor's email please use the email address acaudill@jaccendel.k12.in.us. Some schools do require you to fill out an application provided on their website. You can find a list of them here. (link webpage or list)

Before obtaining a work permit, you must have an Intention to Employ Form filled out by you, your employer, and a parent or guardian. Once filled out and signed, you can turn the Intention to Employ Form to the Guidance Office where it will be processed and you will receive a signed and sealed work permit. Intention to Employ Forms can be provided by employers or the guidance office, as well as online.

Transcripts can be requested electronically using Parchment. Parchment is an online database that has the ability to use information from our student information system and create an online official transcript that can be sent to colleges and universities. Most universities prefer this method of receiving transcripts, however there are some that do not. Talk to the counselor today if you do not already have a Parchment account. www.parchment.com
