How to navigate the Common App transfer college report?

I'm planning to transfer and noticed the Common App requires a college report. Could someone explain what this report entails? I'm a bit worried about getting everything done correctly for my application.

The College Report is a form found in the Common App for Transfer students that provides colleges with information about your standing at your current (or most recent) institution. Its main purpose is to verify that you're in good academic and disciplinary standing.

The report needs to be filled out by an official at your current or previous institution, typically an academic advisor, a registrar, or another college official who has access to your academic and disciplinary records.

Some of the information that will be included is:

- Whether you've ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation.

- Whether you're eligible to re-enroll at your previous institution(s).

- Your current academic standing.

Procedure to follow:

1. Download the form: The first step is to download the College Report form from the Common App. It's located in the Recommenders and FERPA section of the application.

2. Identify who will fill the form: Identify who is going to fill out the form, this is usually an academic advisor, a dean, or a registrar at the college you currently attend or most recently attended.

3. Submit the form: Once you've identified the person, follow your school's procedures to have them fill out and submit the form. This might mean emailing it to them, or it might involve a more formal process. Ask your advisor or visit your school's registrar office for the exact steps you should take.

4. Follow up: Colleges need this information to complete your application; therefore, it's important to ensure that the report is sent. Be sure to follow up if necessary, and be aware of each college's deadlines.

Remember, be proactive in working with your college's officials to get this done properly. Good luck!
