Don't see the latest Common App statuses
Students can manually re-sync their data between SchooLinks and Common App if they are not immediately seeing the most up-to-date information after making changes. In College Application Manager, if the student opens up a specific application that they are wanting to refresh data for (such as FERPA form completion), there is a prompt on the right-hand side of the screen in the application summary box at the bottom labeled:
‘Don’t see the latest Common App statuses? Click here to manually refresh!)
