Summary of College Application Process
****All request for transcripts should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the application deadline.****
Step 1: Complete or obtain a current application directly from the college website or the CommonApp (www.commonapp.org)
Step 2: Request for Transcript - An electronic form will be sent to you through the TEAMS your counselors have created.
- If you applied through the Common App, only one form will need to be filled out.
- If you are applying to multiple schools not on the Common App, one form for each school will be required.
*If you do not inform us of your intention to apply, we will not know to send your transcripts and your application will be incomplete.*
Step 3: Additional Documents - You are responsible for providing your counselor any additional materials that need to be sent to the college (i.e. letters of recommendation, school report forms, CollegeBoard fee waivers, etc.)
* All paper applications should also be brought to your counselor to be mailed directly from the high school. *
**An activity sheet/resume can be created using Career Cruising. Ask your counselor for instructions on creating your resume through Career Cruising.
