College Application Process

Strath Haven High School uses the Naviance program for submittal of official transcripts, Secondary School Reports (SSR), school profile, and counselor and teachers' letters of recommendation. We will be using Naviance eDocs for our electronic submissions.  This system delivers information to over 1,000 colleges and universities.

Information and Forms

All information and forms are posted on the SHHS website under the Counseling tab.  

The Common Application

Register on Common Application (www.commonapp.org) and note your username and password. When you log onto Naviance, click on the "Colleges" tab and then on the "Colleges I'm Applying to" link. You will be asked to sign off on the FERPA (Family Education Rights & Privacy Act) waiver and to provide your Common App information. 

WE CANNOT SEND ANY DOCUMENTS UNTIL YOU DO THIS.

We highly recommend that students waive their right to access recommendations, since colleges strongly prefer this option.  You must complete the FERPA even if you are not submitting the Common Application.
