FERPA waiver issue

<p>Alright, so here's the problem I'm having. Over the summer, I chose not to waive my right to access on CommonApp due to general carelessness and lack of understanding. My school uses Naviance, and so when I connected my CommonApp account to my Naviance account I again didn't waive my right. When school started again, I realized that I should have waived my right and so talked to my guidance counselor. She managed to change it through my Naviance account and now when I log in there it says I have waived my right. However, I noticed recently that when I log onto CommonApp it stills says there that I have not waived my right and won't let me change it. Is there anything I can do, and if not then how will this affect me? I really don't want to screw up my application process. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Hmm that’s strange. My school uses Naviance, and the “School Forms” section of the Common App doesn’t let me do anything because it says “your school is using Naviance eDocs to complete this section”</p>

<p>Have you added your school in the Education section yet?</p>

<p>yeah, and I connected my Common App and Naviance accounts together through the “college I’m applying to” section in Naviance, yet they don’t seem to be working together.</p>

<p>anybody else? nobody else?</p>

<p>I believe you need to email the Common ap support and explain that you now want to waive your rights. Tell them you did this on Naviance and it appears they are not sinked up.</p>

<p>hm, I did that too… twice… and both times received canned responses telling me what the ferpa waiver is. is there a way to actually interact with someone there that will read my question instead of just clicking a button?</p>

<p>Respond back using one of those emails and it will generate a new ticket for someone to read. </p>

<p>Start with the first sentence that you need to change your Ferpa waiver response from not waived to waived. In theory, they will see that you already got the basic info from the email you are responding with. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>That’s a good idea, I’ll try that. Thanks a lot for the advice!</p>

<p>How did that work for you?</p>

<p>I also did not waive my rights, and I did this without knowing how it could have a negative effect on my application. I am now deeply concerned. One of my teachers just submitted her recommendation online yesterday, so I cannot waive my right anymore. Is there ANYTHING I can do? If there is nothing I can do, would it be worth mentioning in the “Additional Information” section? I could tell the college that I did not know the possibly negative effect it could have and would not be viewing the recommendation. Thanks for your help!</p>
