  15. Common Application • THS does NOT send transcripts and other forms electronically so you will need to print out the Secondary School Report for your counselor if it is required for your school. • Teachers are NOT able to submit recommendations via Naviance/Family Connection so you either need to “invite them” or print out the Teacher Evaluation forms from the “Download Forms” section of the common app.

  16. Common App Forms TE and SSR

  17. Your email address… • You may want to create a new email address to use for the college application process if your current email address is very long, subject to error, or questionable.

Suggestions for your online persona… • Set all privacy settings to the highest possible. • Don’t display or be tagged in questionable photos ! • Don’t join or start inappropriate groups! • Don’t post objectionable content such as racist or other offensive comments. • Don’t display violent content. • Be cautious about posting negative content on your profile, especially about the admissions process. • Don’t have discussions with your friends via wall posting about which schools are better than others, etc…
