Why do we need to do this step?
Cialfo is what SPCC teachers and students use to submit official transcripts, official teacher recommendations, and official school documents directly to your college! This minimizes the risk of documents getting lost in the mail and streamlining the application process; hence, matching with Common App is a crucial step. |
Common App : https://www.commonapp.org/
Cialfo: spcc.cialfo.co/signin
Key items to note
*You should have ONE email to manage all your applications, meaning your CIALFO and Common App emails should be the same.
*Fill out all the required fields in Cialfo. This is important for the matching process.
*You must tick the boxes for FERPA. Choose the box "I waive my right..." You MUST waive your right to view the recommendations before we upload and submit any documents on your behalf.
*Always search and enter school using our CEEB Code: 670280. DO NOT just type in St. Paul's Co-educational College.
*Remember to select the right deadline (EA/ED/EDII/RD) under "Round" as this is the timeline we go by to submit your documents. Meeting application deadlines is the student's responsibility.

Teacher Recommendations |
*You must be matched already with Common App to request Teacher references. Once Ms. Liang and Ms. Wong have confirmed your choices for teacher recommendations, you can add them onto your list.
*Remember to approach your teacher in person to ask and then follow up with an email request (Dear___ I am applying to University X (deadline Nov 1), University Y (Deadline Dec 1), University Z (Deadline Jan 1) etc my earliest deadline is Nov 1 *Teacher recommendations require a 2-weeks (14 working days) lead time. Do not ask them the day before something is due. |
By the end of September,
1) Your Common App & Cialfo should be matched.
2) All teacher requests should be sent out.
3) If you don't see your teacher in the drop down bar, come find Ms. Liang or Ms. Wong in the library.
