- Complete the Waiver of Rights and Records Release form.
- Make sure you have completed the Counselor Information Survey in Naviance PRIOR to indicating a letter of recommendation from your counselor is needed
- Submit to Ms. Hooks, the Registrar, 20 days prior to college deadline (use gold College Due Date Form to insure proper timing)
- Registrar will input your colleges into “Colleges I’m Applying To” in Naviance (you cannot do this step…only Ms. Hooks can)
- Registrar submits your Blue Form to your counselor
- Counselor electronically submits your School Profile, official transcript, and letter of recommendation (if applicable) to your colleges through Naviance by the deadline date indicated on the Blue Form

- See your counselor if you are asking 3 teachers to write for you
- Step 3: Submit a Teacher Recommendation Form (also called the Yellow Form) to each teacher 20 days prior to earliest college deadline indicating which colleges they should submit their letter to
- This form serves as their paper trail and provides a clear deadline for submission

- Naviance is the tool through which teachers electronically submit letters. Skipping this step prohibits their ability to submit your letter

NCAA Clearinghouse Transcript Requests
Be sure to include NCAA on your Transcript Request and Records Release form along with your colleges, or submit a separate Blue Form (either is fine)
Be sure you have created your NCAA account prior to submitting for a transcript using the Blue Form (see your coach for details or assistance)
