Common App

Important: If you are ONLY applying to the colleges listed below, you DO NOT need to invite your Counselor.  These schools use STARS or SPARK (UCF) which requires the student to self report his/her academic history, therefore they do not require your Counselor to complete the School Report or submit a transcript.

• FSU, UF, USF, FAU, UNF, UWF, FAMU, New College, Florida Poly: Require STARS instead of the Common App School Report
  • How to submit/link STARS to your college.
• UCF requires SPARK instead of the Common App School Report. Students must submit their application first, and will then access the SPARK form once they receive their admissions portal login.
• FGCU, FIU: do not use STARS, will take a transcript via School Report in Common App or one sent directly from Lyman – Invite your Counselor under the “Recommnders and FERPA” area of Common App.
