How to Sign Ed Agreement on Common App

If you are applying to multiple colleges using the Common Application, chances are you will need to sign an ED agreement, or an Early Decision agreement. This agreement is a binding contract between you and the college, stating that if they accept you, you will attend that school and withdraw all other applications.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to sign your ED agreement on the Common Application:

1. Log in to your Common Application account and navigate to the “My Colleges” tab. Find the school that requires an ED agreement and click on their name.

2. Scroll down to the “application requirements” section and look for the “Early Decision Agreement” or “ED Agreement” link. Click on it to access the agreement.

3. Read through the agreement carefully. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions before signing.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the agreement page and click on the check box that says, “I agree to the above terms and conditions.”

5. A pop-up box will appear, asking you to confirm that you have read and agree to the terms of the agreement. Click “yes” to confirm.

6. Once you have agreed to the terms, you will see a message confirming that you have signed your ED agreement.

7. You may be asked to submit additional materials or information, such as a signature page or a scanned copy of your signature. Follow the instructions provided by the college to submit these materials.

8. Finally, make sure you have completed and submitted all other required components of your application, including essays, transcripts, and test scores.

Remember, signing an ED agreement is a serious commitment. Make sure you have carefully considered your options and are fully committed to attending the school before you sign. If you are uncertain about your choice of college or have any questions about the ED agreement, reach out to the school’s admissions office for clarification.
