Not all colleges require recommendations, but most of the selective ones do.

Through the common app website you will add your teachers’ names and email addresses and then for each school you will select the teachers you want to recommend you. when you hit submit on the school forms section the teachers will get an email from the common app inviting them to recommend you (talk to them before you hit that button). They can then either recommend you online or print out the form and mail it in. If they tell you that they want to mail it in, you can help by printing the forms and providing stamped, addressed envelopes. If your school uses naviance this procedure might vary a bit.

You need to get moving on this if you are a senior. Do this part of the application process now even if you aren’t planning on submitting your applications for a while yet. You want to be sure your teachers aren’t rushed as deadlines get close.
