College Resources
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.
For more information and/or to utilize the Common Application please visit www.commonapp.org
