SENIORS: Enter Early College Plans in Naviance by 10/22!

SENIORS: Enter Early College Plans in Naviance by 10/22!

All seniors applying to colleges via Early Action, Early Decision, Single Choice Early Action, or Restrictive Early Action must indicate these application plans in Naviance on or before Friday, October 22.    

Be aware that if you enter early plans after this deadline, we may not be able to submit documents until after the first week of November.   

PLEASE KNOWN THAT INDICATING YOUR EARLY PLANS IN COMMON APP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE NAVIANCE!  If you don't complete the steps below, we won't know that you're applying early, and your documents will not be sent.

Here’s how to indicate the application plan  (EA/RD/etc) for each college in your Naviance account:

  • go to "colleges I'm applying to
  • click on "EDIT" next to one of your early colleges
  • select the correct application plan for the college by using the drop down menu under “App Type”
  • make sure to also indicate the correct application method under “I’ll submit my application” choosing either “Via Common App”, or “Directly to the Institution”.  The latter choice would be for colleges like MIT, Georgetown, any colleges you are applying to via Coalition App, etc.
  • click "save college application" to save
  • repeat for each college to which you are applying

To manually add colleges like MIT and Georgetown to your Naviance “colleges I’m applying to” list:

-go to “colleges I’m applying to” in your Naviance account

- click on the big red circle with a + icon on the right side of the screen and follow the on -screen prompts:

-identify the college in "which college are you applying to" by scrolling down or typing the name and selecting 

-select the app type (Early Action, Early Decision, Regular decision, etc.)

-select "Add Application"  

-repeat these steps as needed!

Please remember that your Common App and Naviance accounts must be matched in order for the College Office to submit required documents to your colleges. And, your Common App FERPA waiver must be complete. If you have yet to do either, please do so asap! 

See one of our counselors during 1st, 5th, or 10th period if you need assistance.  We are usually available after school on Mon/Weds/Fridays as well.

Best of luck with those early applications, and hang in there…you can do this!
