CommonApp Question - Registrar Report

<p>Quick question here - </p>

<p>My current school does not submit Registrar Reports online - and thus I had to have mine sent in by mail (no problem there). My issue is that I am unable to submit the CommonApp without having "invited" a Registrar to fill out the Registrar Report. What can I do? Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Bump. Help me!</p>

<p>Just fill it in with the requested information…I think my son just put down the college he was applying to, like UDEL-registrar and it filled it in automatically…then it said does not participate in online reporting, and you can print out the form you need from there.</p>

<p>I appreciate the help. The problem is, it does not ask for my school but rather a specific person (First/Last, email, etc.). Should I just put some person from the registrar? I have already printed it out, had my registrar handle it and send it out so that is not a problem. Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes in the box where the name goes he typed in “UDEL registrar” and I think it automatically filled in a name. Then he got the does not participate in online submission message, please print out the form.</p>

<p>I actually have the same problem too. I’m confused what you mean by “UDEL” register and where to put it? And overall, I’m guessing we fill out a “fake” registrar report and in the comments section just say that we submitted a hard copy registrar report?</p>

<p>Yes Chelsea that’s what my son did. Where the name of the registrar goes, he put, as if it was the name- first name-Registrar, last name the college, like Hofstra or what college you are from</p>

<p>UDEL = University of Delaware. Substitute the name of your college.</p>

<p>So I kind of ran into a potential problem and I’m a little concerned of the result. So I created a dummy invite to “My University Registrar” and started filling out the required contact fields, etc. and I got to the part where you have to submit a transcript. So my plan had been to upload a document explaining my registrar report situation so everything would be clear but when I got there, I saw the following disclaimer:</p>

<p>“I affirm that I have uploaded a transcript to this Registrar Report. I understand that failure to do so (by, for example, uploading a blank document or uploading a document promising to mail the transcript at a later time) will result in my Common App account being closed.”</p>

<p>So my question is this, is it ok if I upload my document explaining the situation? I would think so but I wouldn’t want to do anything to jeopardize my application. I don’t think the Common App realized how many colleges wouldn’t be ready for the switch to electronic this year and thus would be stuck in an “impossible situation”… Thanks!</p>

<p>This seems much more complicated than it needs to be. A lot of universities don’t mess with the Common App at all; Common App knows this and universities receiving transfer applications know this.</p>

<p>Go to the website for your university’s registrar. There, you should be able to find the name of the person in charge of the office (usually their title is “registrar”). If you can’t find that person, find a name of someone who works there. Call in if you have to.</p>

<p>Once you’ve gotten a name, enter that name into the form where you invite a registrar. Leave the email field blank. Once you click submit you’re done. The university will see that a Registrar Report was not provided electronically and they will expect to receive it in some other way (typically by mail, email or fax). </p>

<p>Wow… I feel so incredibly stupid now haha, I’ve honestly spent the past couple months trying to figure this out and I was still struggling with the fact that you didn’t actually need to send an invite via email. Thanks for pointing that out!</p>
