Common App Logo

The Common App is a "common application" for over 1000 schools. Not all schools are a part of the Common App, but many are! 

Important Navigation Tips:

  • The Common App is how you apply to the schools that use the Common App.
  • Scoir is how your school supports your application - your app will be considered unfinished until your school sends your supporting documents!
  • Very important! Students must sync their Scoir & Common App accounts. Find the sync feature on your Profile page in Scoir.
  • The Common App tab houses sections that will be shared with all schools that you apply to through the Common App. Sections include:
    • Profile, Family, Education, Testing, Activities, Writing, and Courses/Grades
  • The My Colleges tab houses school specific sections that include information on application fees, deadlines, and recommendation requirements.
    • This is where you'll find additional general questions and additional/supplemental essay or short response questions.
  • Take a moment to understand FERPA
  • Some schools require you to submit additional information regarding a school-based Disciplinary Record. If this applies to you, it is recommended that you address this question thoroughly and with a lessons-learned mindset.
