<p>One of my daughter's colleges only uses the Common Application...</p>
<p>Yet, they want us to send along her course of study list (textbooks used, literature read, etc.), as well as recommendations.</p>
<p>Is there a place on the Common Application to put attachments? Or do I send it along seperately?</p>
<p>And how have you sent in applications from homeschoolers? Should I try to put it into a folder? Or something of that nature? Or just send a stack of papers? :)</p>

Who is "they"? The Common App form doesn't ask for that. </p>
<p>The transcript you send to colleges should include some sort of course description for every course taken, whether self-study or through a school, with extra detail on the courses completed by self-study. That would reasonably include info like textbook used. My son's document had 2 pages of transcript (basically just listing the courses with grades or test scores where he had them). Then there were 3 pages of course descriptions attached, including textbooks used. If you do not have a lot of grades and standardized test scores, you will need to be more elaborate on the course descriptions than if you do have those things. Courses where my son had an AP score had very brief descriptions (1-2 lines), since the score pretty much defined what he had covered. Other descriptions were longer, but no more than a short paragraph per course.</p>
<p>You can just send the extra material separately with a cover letter explaining what it is. I never put it in a folder or anything. Sometimes I would paper clip the pages together, but that was about it.</p>
