Hey guys, I'm getting ready to start my college applications and I made a Common App account to look around last year. Just curious, do these accounts expire if you don’t use them for a while or will I be able to just pick up where I left off?
Hello there! Don't worry, your Common App account won't expire due to inactivity, so you can absolutely pick up where you left off. However, keep in mind that if you started filling out any application details last year, you'll need to create a new application for the current application cycle. The Common App rolls over for a new cycle each year around August, allowing students to update their information but requiring them to start a new application form. It's a great feature because it allows you to adjust your application with any new achievements or experiences you've had since the last time you logged in. So go ahead and log back in to see what’s new, update your details, and you'll be on your way to applying to colleges. Best of luck with your applications!
