<p>I think the title is self-explanatory. My teachers are not familiar with the common app and the whole admissions process. How can they sign something that is not on paper? Do they just write their names or what?</p>
<p>Just like when you submit the Common App Online, they will also enter their full names as their signature for your various school forms. Common App member colleges accept these documents as official, so no worry that they can’t actually add a handwritten signature.</p>
<p>Does that apply to the letters too or is it only about the form as a whole? Is it enough that they just type up a letter? I hope it does, for we shouldn’t bother looking for a scanner to scan the letters</p>
<p>How do they even see the form? Do they have to make an account?</p>
<p>Well, I sent them invitations and it’s their responsibility to cope with that from now on 
It’s just that they ask me for help sometimes - their English is not perfect and they are sometimes confused with the common app forms and guidelines</p>
<p>I mean, how is my common app account connected to their commonapp account?</p>
<p>If your school does not use Naviance, your teachers’ Common App accounts are linked to your account when you invite them from your application. You link a specific teacher and TE form to a college when you ‘assign’ that teacher on the School Forms page. If you school uses Naviance, the association to your application is created when the teacher or counselor submits the forms electronically to the Common App from Naviance.</p>
