Editor's Notes
- Welcome to Common App Ready. Students should navigate to commonapp.org, click on Apply Now to create a new account or to Sign In to an existing account.
- Applicants should navigate to the My Colleges tab.
- After you have completed all of the required questions in the Common App tab (green checks on all sections of the Common App), navigate to the college tab that you want to submit.
- Complete the questions on the Member QUESTIONS section..
- In order to submit your application, every section of your Common Application (as well as the school-specific questions on the “My Colleges” tab) needs to be complete. If your Common App shows all green check marks, you’re ready! If a check mark is missing, you’ll need to go back into that particular section and look for a question marked with a red asterisk which indicates that it is a required question. Then, and only then, will you see the “Review and Submit” button on the “My Colleges” tab. From the My Colleges tab, Click the school's name and select ”Review and Submit - Common App." Click on the button: Review and Submit The first step is a print preview of a PDF copy of your application. If you are satisfied with the preview, please click continue on the bottom and you will be routed to the school's payment page. Once the payment has been completed you need to sign, date, and submit your application. The following slides provide a detailed review of the submission process.
- Click on Review and Submit – Common App on the right side of the screen under the college you are interested in submitting your application to. Submission is a three step process. Although we will review each step more closely, Step 1 is review of the PDF of the application, Step 2 is paying for the application and Step 3 is signing the application and hitting the submit button. To get started, click on the burgundy tab that reads “Review and Submit”.
- By clicking the Review and Submit button, applicants will be presented with a PDF version of their responses to the Common App questions and member questions. Applicants should scroll through the application to ensure that the answers are correct and appear as they should be presented to colleges and universities.
- After the PDF has been reviewed, click CONTINUE to move to the next screen. If there are edits that need to be made, applicants can click BACK to make edits to the application responses. If you are satisfied with the preview, please click continue on the bottom and you will be routed to the PDF affirmation page.
- The PDF Affirmation screen allows you to confirm that the PDF is as you want it to appear. Click Continue to proceed to the next screen.
- While the Common Application is free for applicants and recommendation providers to use, certain colleges may require the submission of an application fee. Secure online payments can be submitted using any major credit card. Alternatively, providing bank account information allows for submission of an electronic check.
- Eligibility for the Common App Fee Waiver is based on financial need. Qualified applicants may use this fee waiver to satisfy the application fee requirements for all colleges to which they apply. College-specific fee waivers are granted based on unique criteria specified by a member college. This fee waiver can be used to satisfy the application fee requirement for those colleges that choose to offer it.
- After payment has been submitted within the secure Higher One Interface, applicants will be asked to confirm submission by checking the five boxes and typing their legal name in the blank signature box.
- Once your application has been successfully submitted, you will see an overlay congratulating you on your submission. Applicants will also receive an email confirming submission.
- You have now submitted. The date and time of your application submission will appear in the dashboard for your reference.
