Daily Update
October 24, 2013

As promised, we are sending daily updates regarding system performance and support. We will continue this communication as long as there is news to share.

Student List. When using the Recommendation System, counselors, teachers, and other recommenders may notice that a student name does not appear on the student list under the Students tab. 

  • COUNSELORS: Make sure that the student has invited you and not just listed your name in the Education tab of the application.      
  • TEACHERS/RECOMMENDERS: Make sure that the student has invited AND assigned you from within the application.  
No Visible Submit Button. When using the Recommendation System, counselors will be able to submit school forms only after all required questions on the form and on the Profile screen are completed and saved. The submit button will not be visible on the recommendation until the Profile screen is complete.
 
Unable to Login to New Account. We have received reports of cases where recommenders are able to create an account but are then not able to log in via the Recommender tab. If this is the case for you, please contact the Help Center at recsupport.commonapp.org for assistance.
