Establishing a link between a high school’s college counseling platform and the universal application system streamlines the college application process for students. This linkage enables the secure transmission of required academic documents, such as transcripts and counselor recommendations, directly to the Common Application, eliminating the need for manual submission by students or school staff. For instance, once the connection is established, a student’s official transcript prepared within Naviance can be electronically sent to colleges the student has added to their Common Application account.
This electronic integration offers several key benefits. It ensures the secure and efficient delivery of essential application materials, reducing the risk of lost or delayed documents. Furthermore, it provides students with greater visibility into the status of their application materials, allowing them to track when their transcripts and recommendations have been submitted. Historically, the manual submission of these documents was a significant administrative burden for both students and schools. The digital connection simplifies workflow and minimizes potential errors.
