Common Application & Naviance

Applying to out of state or private schools? Please keep in mind that Applications for the UCs, CSUs, Community Colleges, colleges that use the Coalition application and any school that does not use the Common Application (many out of state public schools) will need to be completed separately through the college's application website.  

Please watch this video to learn how to match your Common Application with Naviance 

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • FERPA Waiver. Complete the waiver and waive your rights! Sounds scary but it must be done for Aragon to send your letter of recommendation and transcripts.  If you do not waive your rights, we cannot send out the required documents for you. Please read the instructions in the FERPA Waiver link. 
  • All colleges must be listed in your Naviance as "Colleges I Am Applying To"
