Grand View University Joins Common App for Fall 2026

September 9, 2025

Students applying to Grand View University for the 2026 academic year will now be able to do so through Common App, the online college application platform that serves more than three million applicants, teachers, counselors, and advisors each year across the United States and around the world. This option is in addition to the application for admission available on the Grand View University website.

By becoming a Common App member, Grand View University is streamlining the application process for prospective students while expanding access to those who may not have otherwise considered Grand View. Each year, more than one million applicants use Common App, and one-third of those applicants are the first in their family to pursue a college degree.

“In joining Common App, Grand View is helping to make the college application experience more accessible for students and families,” said Debbie Barger, Vice President for Enrollment Management. "This partnership allows us to better connect with students who are seeking a personalized, supportive university experience and highlights the value and attainability of a Grand View degree.”

Through this membership, Grand View students will also have access to additional Common App tools and resources, including financial aid and scholarship information, virtual mentors, online portfolios, and a library of counselor resources available in English and Spanish. Students and counselors benefit from 24/7/365 technical support through Common App as well.

“The diversity of our membership helps us forge a direct and unambiguous path to a viable future for all students,” said Jenny Rickard, President & CEO of The Common Application. “Through membership with The Common Application, Grand View University has demonstrated a shared commitment to pursuing access, equity, and integrity in the college admission process. Thanks to our members, all students have the opportunity to easily apply to the college or university that will help them achieve their best future.”

Students considering Grand View University can create a Common App account now, as accounts roll over from year to year. In addition, Grand View applicants may also use the Common App for transfer, a separate application designed exclusively for transfer and adult student populations.
