FERPA Agreement • Be sure to print the FERPA form and return to counselor to waive your right to access letter. • No counselor can write you a letter of rec without this form on file. • Also, be sure to give one to any teacher who will be writing you a letter. • Students who do not waive their right will receive a generic, neutral letter.

  19. Begin by clicking on the “colleges” tab.

  20. Next, click on the “colleges I’m applying to” link

  21. If you intend to apply to a Common Application school, read this additional FERPA agreement carefully, then check one of these boxes. If you do not intend to apply to ANY Common App schools, you can skip this step.

  22. At the bottom of the FERPA you must enter your Common App username and password. This is how your info from Naviance will be connected to your application.

  23. If you have never used this page, start with “add colleges to this list”.

  24. Add your college list by using the “lookup” feature.

  25. You can browse colleges by state, country, or name.

  26. Choose a type of admission and be sure to check what each school offers.

  27. After you find the school and select and admission, click “Add Colleges”.

  30. Click on the brag packet to the left that you wish to complete first.

  31. Complete every question and pay close attention to deadlines.

  33. Once your brag packets are done, return to your college list and scroll down to the bottom and click on “add/cancel requests”.

  34. Select your teachers and counselors from the pull down menu here. This will send them an email notifying them that the brag packet is done. Be sure to ask them in person first, before sending the email, as a courtesy.
