Common Application FAQ’s 

Q. Under “My Colleges- Application-Recommenders and FERPA”, how do I invite my instructor (Academic Evaluator) to write a letter of recommendation? 

A. First, ASK your instructor if he/she would be willing to write you a letter of recommendation PRIOR to adding them to the invitation list. Once they have agreed, fill out the Recommender Invitation (Type: Academic Evaluator; Relationship: Instructor; Fill out their appropriate title, First and Last name; enter their Email address). Note that the instructor will only receive this invitation email for the specific college application that you are in, at the time. 

Q. Under “My Colleges- Application-Recommenders and FERPA”, what do I do with the College Report? 

A. First, check that the institution in which you are applying requires this form; check with each university’s admissions website and their application checklist to find out whether they require the College Report. If they do require this form, you will need to sign and attach the “Authorization to Release Information” form to your completed College Report form. It will then be reviewed by the Dean of Students for conduct related matters and completed by Admissions and Records. 

Q. Under “My Colleges- Application-Recommenders and FERPA”, in the “Additional Forms” section what do I do with the Mid-term Report? 

A. Print out the Mid-term Report offline form (pdf) and bring this to your current course instructors to fill out with your current grade in each class. Make a copy for each university in which you are applying, and mail to each university’s Admissions Office. 

Q. Some programs may ask for official or unofficial transcripts.  Others may not ask for any at all.

A. Order your official VCCCD transcript to be sent to each university in which you are applying. Transcript requests are completed online through your My.VCCCD portal.  Unofficial transcripts can be located in your My.VCCCD.edu portal under “Student Records” and then “Unofficial Academic Transcript.”
