Common App in Scoir: Start Here for Students

Brad B Updated by Brad B

If your school uses the Scoir + Common App integration, your two accounts work together: your college list and application progress flow from Common App into Scoir automatically, and your counselor sends your transcripts, forms, and recommendations without you having to shuttle paperwork. Here's your map.

Does my school use the integration?

Ask your counselor if you're not sure. If your school doesn't connect the two, you'll use both platforms side by side — see Students: Using Scoir & Common App if Your School Doesn't Connect Them.

1. Connect your accounts

Starting August 1 of senior year, connect Scoir to your Common App (you can create a Common App account during the process if you don't have one yet).

2. Sign your FERPA

You'll complete a FERPA release in Common App (in any college's Recommenders & FERPA section) — this is what lets everything sync. Your school may also have its own FERPA release in Scoir; they're two different documents.

3. Request your recommendations

Request teacher recommendations in Scoir, not Common App — Common App will point you back here anyway.

4. Fee waivers & Early Decision

Something not working?

Most problems trace back to steps 1 and 2 — the linking and FERPA troubleshooting guides cover nearly every known issue and tell you exactly what to send support if you're still stuck. Counselors: your version of this page is Common App in Scoir: Start Here for Counselors.
