Linking Common App with Naviance: How to?

This might be a silly question, but I'm a bit lost on how to link my Common App account with Naviance. I’ve heard this needs to be done for the whole recommendation and transcript process. Could somebody walk me through this?

Absolutely, happy to help you with that! It's a common step in the application process and it's great that you're getting it sorted out. Firstly, you'll want to make sure you've created your Common App account. If you've got that, log in to your Naviance or whichever platform your school uses for college planning and documents.

Next, look for a section typically labeled something like 'Colleges I'm Applying to.' There should be an option to match your Common App account. This usually requires you to enter your Common App email and date of birth. Once you submit that, you should see a confirmation that your accounts are linked.

If your school’s platform has a different process or if these instructions don’t quite match up, your best bet is to reach out to your school’s counseling office directly. They can give you the most accurate steps as it can sometimes vary by school. And, it's definitely not a silly question; it's an important step in ensuring your recommendations and transcripts get where they need to go. Good luck with your applications!
