How to Link Your Common Application with Xello
Log into Xello and navigate to Plans on your dashboard.
Select College Planning, then click View My Applications.
Click Connect in the Common App banner at the top of the page.
Note: A pop-up may warn that you need to re-do certain tasks (like requesting transcripts or recommendation letters).
Sign in to your Common App account when redirected (or create one if needed).
Once logged in, you will be redirected back to Xello, where the top banner will confirm that your accounts are connected.
Go to your Student Dashboard, look under Plans, and click College Planning.
Click View My Applications to see the list of colleges you are tracking.
Choose any college displaying the Common App logo to open its profile.
Next to Transcript, click Request to view your school’s counselor list.
Select your counselor, click Select, and then click Next.
Once completed, you will be redirected to the college page, where a confirmation banner at the top will verify your request was sent.
Deadline: Submit your request between May 1st and the last day of school.
Note: Transcript requests are held until graduation so your official transcript reflects "Graduated" status. If you need a transcript sent before graduation for an application, please visit the School Counseling Office directly so we do not hold it.
How to Request in Xello:
Log in to your student dashboard and click Plans.
Under College Applications, click View My Applications, then select your chosen institution.
Scroll down to Transcript under the Application Checklist.
Select Options > New Request Transcript.
If you applied to your chosen school via the Common App, do not request a transcript in Xello.
Instead, ensure your final school choice is listed accurately on your Senior Survey (completed in May). Your final transcript will be sent automatically based on that survey.

Having Trouble Requesting Your Transcript?
If you are struggling to request a transcript, you may have linked Xello to the Common App without actually using it to apply. Look for the Common App logo next to the school on your Xello list—if it's there, follow these steps to fix it:
Log in to Common App and delete the school you plan to apply to directly.
Log back into Xello and confirm the school has been removed from your College Applications list.
Start a new Application Tracker for that school, selecting Direct Application this time.
Resubmit your transcript request using the standard steps.
