CommonApp Student Transcript Request Process
As a counselor, you will see the following forms in the Common App Student
Workspace:
• School Report
• Counselor Recommendation
• Optional Report
• Mid Year Report
• Final Report
Additionally, if there are any supplemental forms to complete (like the Common
App Fee Waiver), they will also be listed here.
The School Report is where you will list information like a student’s transcripts and
ratings, as well as your school’s GPA reporting and curriculum.
The Counselor Recommendation allows you to provide a written evaluation of
your student.
The Mid Year Report is used to submit first semester/trimester grades.
The Optional Report may be used to submit updated grades or transcripts, as well
as to correct errors previously submitted on any report.
The Final Report is used to submit final grades for a student and should not be
submitted until all admission decisions have been received. Once the Final Report
has been submitted, no other forms can be submitted.
*Note that you will not be able to access the Mid Year Report, Optional Report, or
Final Report until the School Report has been submitted.
