Below are the steps to walk you through how to update the School Details and School Profile.
The School Details and School Profile are completed once in your School Settings and both are automatically included in the student's School Report for Common App Applications. Common App requires a School Report to accompany all applications.
For ideas on how to compile a School Profile, NACAC has a database of sample school profiles that you can check out.
Common App’s School Report form has two parts:
The first part is the School Details form and School Profile. You can find and edit these in your School Settings. The school details and school profile will be the same for all students in your school and are automatically added to every student's School Report form in their Document Sending page.
The second part of the form includes more student-specific questions. You complete this by filling out the School Report in the Document Sending page for each student.
After submitting the student's individual School Report, the School Details and School Profile will automatically attach to the School Report form for you and you can view the entire file by clicking "View Submission."
