Are you a senior student wondering how to keep track of your transcripts and letters of recommendation? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to use Naviance to monitor these important components of your college applications.

Introduction

Naviance is a powerful tool that allows you to seamlessly manage your college application process. From checking the status of transcripts to verifying the submission of recommendation letters, Naviance provides a convenient platform for seniors like you to stay updated.

Accessing Naviance through Hoover Gmail Account

Before delving into the specifics, it's essential to understand how to access Naviance. To begin, sign into your Naviance account through your Hoover Gmail account. Once signed in, you will notice a square of squares in the top right-hand corner. Click on this icon to reveal a drop-down menu, then locate and click on the Naviance logo. This action will open a new tab and automatically sign you into Naviance.

Checking the Status of Transcripts and Letters of Recommendation

Now that you're logged in, you can navigate to the "Colleges I'm Applying to" section to check the status of your transcripts and letters of recommendation. Assuming you have already initiated your college applications and added your desired colleges to Naviance, this section will display a list of the schools you're applying to. If you have synced your Common App account with Naviance, these colleges will automatically populate.

Navigating to the "Colleges I'm Applying to" Section

To access the "Colleges I'm Applying to" section, simply click on the corresponding option from the Naviance menu. Here, you will find a summary or snapshot of how you're applying, including application deadlines. Under the "Sent" column, you can check if your transcripts and office materials have been successfully submitted. Seeing a "Sent" status should provide reassurance that your materials have reached the intended destination. In case the status reads "Pending" or is absent, it's advisable to reach out to your counselor for clarification or to ensure you haven't missed any essential deadlines.

Syncing Common App Account with Naviance

If you haven't already done so, linking your Common App and Naviance accounts can streamline the application process. This integration ensures that colleges you select through the Common App also appear in your Naviance account, facilitating a clear overview of your college choices.

Viewing a List of Applied Colleges

Within the "Colleges I'm Applying to" section, you can easily view the colleges you have applied to. This feature enables you to track your progress and stay organized during the application process. Take note of deadlines, submission requirements, and any additional documents that are needed.

Checking the Transcript and Recommendation Status

As you review the list of colleges you are applying to, you'll notice the status of your transcripts and letters of recommendation. The "Sent" status indicates that your transcripts have been successfully transmitted via Naviance. This confirmation should provide a sense of relief. However, if the status appears as "Pending" or is missing, it's crucial to promptly contact your counselor via email to inquire about the situation and ensure everything is in order before any impending deadlines.

Dealing with Pending Items

If you encounter any pending items regarding your college application, it's important not to panic. Instead, reach out to your counselor for guidance and clarification. Inform them of any concerns or approaching deadlines to ensure a smooth and timely application process. Your counselor is there to support you throughout this journey.

Updating Application Submission

Once you have submitted your college applications, it's a good idea to update this information in Naviance. By indicating that you have successfully submitted your application, your counselor will be informed of your progress. This step also helps them keep track of the necessary documents that the guidance office needs to send on your behalf.

Managing Letters of Recommendation

In addition to transcripts, Naviance also allows you to manage your letters of recommendation. At the bottom of the screen, you will find a section dedicated to letters of recommendation. If certain colleges require letters, visit this section to learn more about the specific requirements. If you still need a letter, you can request one from your chosen recommender. Within this section, you can also track the progress of your letters, ensuring they have been submitted or checking if there are any pending or canceled requests.

Accessing the Transcript Screen

If you ever need to view the specific details of when your transcripts were sent, Naviance allows you to access the transcript screen. Here, you will find the precise date when your transcripts were sent out to colleges, adding an extra layer of transparency and peace of mind to the application process.

We hope this tutorial has been helpful in understanding how to use Naviance to track your transcripts and letters of recommendation.
