Deadline of Entire Common Application

Does the entire Common Application need to be submitted by the earliest deadline of my college choices?
For example, if I have an Early Decision deadline in November, 2016 but rest of my deadlines are after January 2017, by when do I need to submit Common App? Or is Common App submitted separately for each college respective to each deadline?

I know this question might be weird but I’m very new to Common App and my counselors are acting as if I need to submit the app for all colleges by the first deadline.

Thanks in advance

The Common App is submitted separately for each college. You choose when to submit.
