The connection between the Common Application platform and Naviance, a college and career readiness solution, facilitates a streamlined process for students applying to higher education institutions. This integration allows for the efficient transmission of application materials, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, and standardized test scores, from the student’s high school to colleges and universities. An example would be a student submitting their Common App, and their counselor electronically sends the required supporting documents via Naviance, directly linking to that application.
This connection significantly reduces administrative burdens for both students and school counselors. It ensures the secure and timely delivery of essential application components, minimizing potential errors or delays. Historically, managing these documents involved manual processes, increasing the risk of misplacement and slowing down application timelines. The digital link provides a more efficient and trackable method, offering a significant advantage in the increasingly competitive college application landscape.
