The College Application Process
• Many colleges prefer applications be sent through an on-line process. However, most will still accept the paper version if it is available. Application fee payments can be made on-line or by check if sent by regular mail.
• Students are responsible for submitting their own portion of an application either on-line or through the mail. If a college requires a school or counselor report form as part of the application, this form must be submitted to the Guidance office for processing. Counselors will complete the form and mail it with a copy of the student’s senior year schedule and recommendation letters if required.
Streamline the Process by Using the Common Application (available for a select group of nearly 300 schools)
Complete Application Routing Form
College Application Routing Forms, available in the Guidance office, must accompany each School or Counselor Report Form submitted. Students must indicate the following: 1) college or university name, 2) application deadlines, 3) which transcript was released - honors or regular, 4) which test score was released – ACT, SAT, or both, including the test date.
Mid-year reports forms, if required, should be given to Pat Gerrits in the Guidance office. They will be completed and mailed after first semester grades become available. (It is not necessary to release another official transcript.)
Students are Responsible for Submitting an Official Transcript to Each College or University Through Docufide (Costs $5/report)
