Common App Recommendation Process
After completing the required FERPA authorization release in Common
App, if a college requires a counselor letter of recommendation or teacher
letter of recommendation, you will invite your counselor and/or teacher(s)
by inputting their first and last name ONLY. Do not put in their Email
address. Select 'yes' for the question regarding your teacher/counselor
completing an evaluation for your application. Since your school
is sending documents through Scoir, Teachers and Counselors will
complete their recommendation in Scoir.
You will then need to request letters of recommendation in Scoir.
Note: You may need to complete the Scoir FERPA waiver and release prior to requesting
letters of recommendation in Scoir but confirm with your high school counselor.
Early Decision (if applicable)
You will have to complete the Early Decision Agreement in both the Common App
and Scoir.
In the Common App, you will head to My Colleges. Select the college that
you are applying Early Decision to Questions General. From there,
you will indicate Early Decision as your Preferred Admission Plan. You will
then be prompted to electronically sign the Early Decision Agreement.
Proceed to Scoir to complete the Early Decision Agreement and
request signatures from your parent/guardian and counselor.
Fee Waivers (if applicable)
You will have to request a Fee Waiver in Common App and Scoir.
In the Common App, you will head to the Common App Profile
Common App Fee Waiver.
Proceed to Scoir to request a fee waiver from your counselor.
