The Common Application
The Common Application membership association was established in
1975 by 15 private colleges that wished to provide a common,
standardized first-year application form for use at any member
institution. With the administrative support of the National
Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the
organization grew steadily throughout its first 30 years.
Now in its fourth decade, the Common Application currently
provides both online and print versions of its First-year and
Transfer Applications. Its membership of more than 300 institutions
now represents the full range of higher education institutions in
the US: public and private, large and small, highly selective and
modestly selective, and East Coast, West Coast, and every region in
between.
The Common Application is a not-for-profit membership organization
that, since its founding over 30 years ago, has been committed to
providing reliable services that promote equity, access, and
integrity in the college application process. We serve students,
member institutions, and secondary schools by providing
applications - online and in print - that students and school
officials may submit to any of our nearly 350 members. Membership
is open to colleges and universities that promote access by
evaluating students using a holistic selection process.
