- This is a reminder that requests for school application materials to be sent to all colleges with January 1 and January 15 deadlines should be entered into Naviance by next Monday, December 9. Transcripts must also be requested in Naviance, and any appropriate schools must be listed in your Common App account. Check your schools to see how many teacher recommendations they will accept, and let Ms. Tracy or Ms. Garrity know what letters should be sent if there is a limit. Finally, in order for us to submit materials to any Common App schools, you must match your Naviance and Common App accounts. If you are awaiting a decision from an ED application, please list the other schools to which you might potentially apply in Naviance, but do not request a transcript be sent until you hear your ED outcome. If accepted, you can delete these schools.SENIORS - IMPORTANT COLLEGE APPLICATION INFORMATION:We will be processing hundreds of applications in the next two weeks, so it's important that you complete all the steps outlined above to ensure your school materials are sent by deadline..
