Step 1: Get Organized
Step 2: Build a List
Step 3: Common App & Naviance Work Together
This step is not necessary if you are not using Common App.Step 5: Teacher Letters
Step 6: Other Recommenders
If you are having someone outside of LCPS write a letter for you, please follow this process.
Step 10: Request Your Transcript
Parent Permission Form for Transcript Requests MUST COMPLETE FIRST
Step 11: Register for your FSA ID for FAFSA
Step 13: Apply for Scholarships
Check Naviance regularly for up to date scholarship opportunities
Step 14: WAIT
The waiting game can be the hardest and most anxious. Remember, any decision is contingent upon successful completion of senior year, so keep those grades up!
Step 15: Update Decisions in Naviance as You Hear
The Coalition application provides flexibility for the student. Because LRHS sends documents via Naviance eDocs, the student must check a box that indicates that they understand that it is their responsibility to get the documents to the institution. (see graphic)
The Coalition application works a little bit differently. Since we are a Naviance eDocs school, student using the Coalition Application will fill out the application online, then they will check the box to indicate that they’ll be sending their transcript separately (not via coalition). When you get to the locker portion of your Coalition Application, do not choose anyone in "Official Documents and Recommendations". Instead, request the teacher letter of recommendations be sent online through Naviance just like other colleges in general. However, if you are asking for a recommendation from someone outside of LRHS, then you should list that person in the recommendations section so they will be able to submit via Coalition.
You must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse. Note: this should be done no earlier than the end of your junior year.
Once you register you need to request that a transcript be sent to NCAA.
We will update NCAA with your mid-year transcript and final transcript, you do NOT need to make another request.
