PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Common App, an online program that allows students to complete college applications for multiple schools without filling out the same information multiple times. This system is currently used by 915 schools across the country. Thirty-four Illinois schools are members of Common App, including Chicago State, Northern Illinois, and the University of Illinois – Chicago. This appropriation would expand services and provide funding as Common App is rolled out at all public universities in Illinois.
Having a Common App will simplify the college application process, helping more low-income students and first-generation college goers to access college and encouraging more students to consider Illinois’ public universities.
