Hi everyone—I'm trying to figure out the steps to connect my Naviance account to the Common App. Our school uses Naviance for everything and I know they need to sync up somehow. Could you all explain how to do this? Thanks a ton!
Hey there! I'm glad you're getting things organized with your applications. Synching Naviance with the Common App is pretty straightforward. Here's what you need to do:
-First, create your Common App account if you haven't already. On your Naviance page, you'll find a section for 'Colleges I'm Applying To.' You'll be prompted to enter your Common App email address there, and you need to ensure that this matches exactly with your Common App registration email.
-Then, go through the FERPA waiver process on the Common App, as Naviance won't sync until that's completed. Once done, you should see a confirmation that the accounts are matched.
-Lastly, double-check with your counselor to make sure everything is in order. They might need to finalize the sync on their end.
If you hit any snags, your school's counseling office is a great resource for personalized help. Good luck!
