commonapp & coalition
CommonApp is highly recommended for students to use. Most colleges can be applied to through CommonApp as well as some scholarships.
The Common Application allows students to apply to over 800 colleges and universities using just one application. Helps saves time when applying to multiple universities.

letters of recommendation
Starting early in the fall of Senior year it is good practice to start requesting Letters of Recommendation from Teachers, Coaches, Employers, or anyone else that can speak on your behalf as to your qualities and achievements. I recommend students request a minimum of 3 letters with 5 being better. If you are using Common App you will not upload letters but will rather add Recommenders to your application who will be contacted by Common App to submit a recommendation for you.
The links below connect to several useful Recommendation info forms you can fill out to give to individuals that you ask for a recommendation. Use any of the forms that you like best, and if you need copies made to hand out just ask in the office. These forms help your Recommenders when drafting your letter. Please give one of these filled out to every person you request from, it really is very helpful!

transfer credits from college credit and/or ap classwork
Courses taken during High School either through the College Credit Plus Program or through Advanced Placement coursework may be eligible for college credit. See below for information and for sites that allow students to see what their courses may be counted as at different institutions.
All college credit and Advanced placement grades or scores need to be sent to colleges that students are applying to receive possible college credit:
CCP courses require a transcript from the college giving CCP credit
Ap scores are requested through students collegeboard account
transfer ccp credits
Any credits earned through CC+ coursework can be transferred to many colleges. It is a good idea though to look at if the credits earned will transfer to the colleges you are interested in, and in what capacity (actually satisfy a course requirement as part of your program of study in college, or just satisfy an elective credit?). Transferology is a great website for looking at if your credits may transfer to the colleges you are interested in. Click on icon below to go to the site.
