How to add college courses in Common App?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hi, I took community college courses (dual-enrollment) during high school. I have a separate transcript from the community college. These courses do NOT show up on my high school transcript.

But I cant find where to add these courses in Commp App. I’ve added the community college name in ‘Colleges and Universities’ section of Common App but that section doesn’t have any place to add courses I took.

In the ‘Courses and Grades’ section of Common App, the Community College doesn’t show up in the dropdown menu of ‘School Name’ - only my high school shows up in that dropdown menu.

I’ve already read this link but it doesn’t help: https://appsupport.commonapp.org/applicantsupport/s/article/How-do-I-report-a-college-course-I-took-during-high-school-in-Courses-Grades

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated since deadline is Monday Nov 1st. Thanks a lot!

I don’t know if this is the definitive answer, but my kid was in the same position: their GC told them to put the course names and corresponding grades as the first entry under additional information. The GC said he wasn’t able to upload the transcripts from his end. Again, I’m not sure this is the only or best way to do this, but it’s what my kid has done thus far.

There was definitely a place to put college classes - my D only has one but she entered the school & sent a transcript.

there unfortunately isn’t a place to include them. I took note of only the ones I am taking in the future in the additional info section. I then sent an official transcript to my colleges (check your cc for how to do this). some colleges even require this transcript.

you can include the school you took them at, but if they aren’t dual enrollment then you can’t add them.
