How to Apply to College
The first thing you will
do is click on the FERPA
Agreement link.
FERPA Agreement
• Be sure to print the
FERPA form and return
to counselor to waive
your right to access letter.
• No counselor can write you a letter of
recommendation without this form on file.
• Also, be sure to give one to any teacher who will
be writing you a letter.
• Students who do not waive their right will receive
a generic, neutral letter.
Click on the
“colleges” tab.
Next, click
on the
“colleges
I’m applying
to” link
If you are applying to Common App
schools, there is an electronic
FERPA on commonapp.org which
must be completed BEFORE your
Naviance account can be matched
and teachers/counselors can submit
online.
In order to access the Common App
FERPA, click on “release authorization”
under the “My Colleges” tab on
commonapp.org. Since TP is a Naviance
school, you ***DO NOT INVITE
COUNSELOR OR TEACHERS
THROUGH COMMON APP*** Teachers
and counselors will submit through
Naviance. Remember to waive your rights.
Now go back to Naviance and enter
your Common App email address
and date of birth. Click match, and
your Naviance and Common App are
now linked!
You must now list all of
the colleges you’re
applying to. Click on
“add colleges to this list.”
Add your
college list by
using the
“lookup”
feature.
You can
browse
colleges
by state,
country, or
name.
Choose a type of
admission and be
sure to check what
each school offers.
After you find the
school and select an
admission type, click
“Add Colleges”.
Make sure that your
college list and
application type (early or
regular) is ACCURATE!
Your counselors and
teachers will refer to this
list as needed for
deadlines.
To find the teacher
and counselor brag
packets, click on the
“about me” tab.
Click on the brag
packet to the left
that you wish to
complete first.
Complete every
question and pay
close attention to
deadlines.
For a teacher
recommendation,
be sure to
complete all the
questions as well.
For questions that ask for
specifics in a class, use
separate paragraphs for
each teacher and devote
equal time to both.
Once your brag
packets are done,
return to your college
list and scroll down to
the bottom and under
Teacher
Recommendations,
click on “add/cancel
requests”.
Select your teachers
and counselor from the
pull down menu here.
This will send them an
email notifying them that
the brag packet is done.
Be sure to ask them in
person first, before
sending the email, as
a courtesy.
Don’t forget to select
“Update Requests”
once your teachers
and counselor have
been selected.
Requesting Letters of
Recommendation
• Once again, you MUST speak with the recommender
(i.e. teacher or counselor) before requesting him/her

TIPS for Surviving this time…
• Take care of yourself. Make time to relax
and decompress (beach, coffee with friends, funny
movies, playing with your dog, etc)
• Strive for healthy balance in your
life. You will need time for academics, college
applications/scholarships, friends, family, activities,
work, exercise, rest. Don’t spread yourself too thin!
• Don’t compare yourself to your
friends, siblings or peers. You do not have
to share your college list or decisions with others. This
is a private process; know who your support system is
and access it!
TIPS for Surviving this time…
• Pace yourself with the application
process. Set aside time daily to work on brag
packets, applications and essays so you can put your
best self forward. Create a calendar to manage
deadlines.
• Keep the college admission process
in perspective. Believe it or not, this will likely
not be the most important decision you ever make.
Many colleges could work for you in different ways.
You are not choosing a soul mate for life, but rather
the place to start your higher education.
