´ºÃÎÖ±²¥

Students applying to ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ will have the ability to do so through Common App, a powerful online college application platform that serves more than three million applicants, teachers, counselors and advisors across all 50 United States and around the world each year. Common App is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to access, equity, and integrity in the college admission process.

By becoming a Common App member, ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ will streamline the application process for students and gain exposure to students who may not have otherwise considered ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥. Common App helps simplify the college application process, including making the fee waiver process more efficient for eligible students. Each year, more than one million applicants use the Common App. One-third of those applicants are the first in their family to pursue a college degree. Since ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥â€™s soft launch in early February, the university has received nearly 1,000 undergraduate applications.

In addition to accessing the online application system, by joining Common App, ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ is helping to make additional tools and services available to students and those who support students through Common App, including a mobile app, financial aid and scholarship information, virtual mentors, online portfolios, and a vast library of counselor resources available in English and Spanish. Common App also offers 24/7/365 technical support to all applicants and recommenders using the system.

"We joined Common App to help simplify the college application experience for students and counselors," said Jacklyn Haas, director of admissions. "Our new partnership with the Common App will help ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ educate more students about the value, attainability, and affordability of a ´ºÃÎÖ±²¥ degree."
