College Application Tools

To get started with college applications in Naviance Student, build an application list, request transcripts, and request teacher letters of recommendation. If needed, review your key test scores and complete a SuperMatch™ college search to help you find colleges that are a good fit. Use Match powered by Concourse to create a free, anonymous profile and start receiving official offers of admission from colleges and universities.

After you build an application list and request documents, track document submission status and update application details.

You must link your Naviance Student and Common App accounts if your high school has integrated Naviance with the Common App and you are applying to Common App institutions. After linking accounts, you can request application materials from your school via Naviance Student.
