Nolij Partnered Solution Providers in Higher Education: Common Application

Nolij Corporation has formed a partnership with the Common Application, Inc. to become the preferred data import solution provider to its member institutions. The Common Application is a not-for-profit organization that serves students and member institutions by providing an admission application - online and in print - that students may submit to any of its nearly 300 members. "The Common Application's 300 member colleges and universities use every version of every admission database out there, and that's why Nolij Transfer was such an obvious choice. Regardless of the system -- even if it's "homegrown" -- Nolij Transfer has proven effective time after time for our members", said Rob Killion, Executive Director, of the Common Application.

Using Nolij's Web-based data upload and integration solution, members of the Common Application will now be able to automate the data loading process of the Common Application data files into their SIS. Colleges and universities will not only automate the data loading process but also vastly improve the quality of the data. "Nolij is very excited at the opportunity to work with such an esteemed organization as the Common Application and its college and university members", said John Collins, President of Nolij Corporation.

The Common Application is a not-for-profit organization that serves students and member institutions by providing an admission application - online and in print - that students may submit to any of our nearly 300 members.  Membership is limited to colleges and universities that evaluate students using a holistic selection process.  Since our founding over 30 years ago, we have been committed to maintaining a reliable service while promoting equity, access, and integrity in the college application process. 

The Common Application is a consortium of selective four-year schools in the United States, which provides a single application that can be used to apply to any of the member schools.  Many schools use the Common Application exclusively, and those who use it along side their own application give the Common Application equal weight.  Many in the education industry see consortium applications as the wave of the future, and the Common Application is the oldest and best recognized of this new breed.
