Process Application Materials for Students with eDocs

Overview

After students create a list of colleges they are applying to and request transcripts and letters of recommendation, you can process the required application materials using Naviance eDocs. Teachers managing letters of recommendation for students in Naviance can prepare and send recommendations using Teacher Desk.

If your school uses Common App integration with eDocs, you must prepare and submit all documents via Naviance, not Common App.

To process the application materials, prepare, send, and track the materials for a current or alumni student from the eDocs section of their student folder.

  1. Before sending materials, you must:
    1. Ensure that students have a date of birth and assigned counselor in Naviance.
    2. Confirm your school's CEEB code is correct on the College Application Tools and eDocs Settings page.
    3. Upload a School Profile and complete the School Information form.
  2. If using Common App integration, students must complete account matching in Naviance Student before you can send documents to Common App institutions via eDocs.

Frequently asked questions

QuestionAnswer
If eDocs are sent for a student in grade 11, can documents be sent again for the student in grade 12?
  • Common App resets every new application cycle on August 1. Applicants can carry over their accounts, their college list, and essay responses. Previously submitted forms, recommender invitations, and application submissions are not carried over. New documents must be submitted if the applicant is applying again for the new cycle.
If a student applies to a dual enrollment program in grade 11 via a process such as Parchment, do they have to stick with that process (Parchment) in grade 12? Can they use Common App in grade 12 after they have used Parchment in grade 11? 
  • Common App and the integration with eDocs are completely independent of other form delivery services. An applicant can use Common App at any time.
Can students apply for a dual enrollment program via Common App in grade 11?
  • The Common App is currently for applicants applying to 4 year undergraduate programs. While some colleges offer Early Action for juniors, most students apply in their senior year.
