Fill the parent-controlled facts, then copy a hand-off list for the student. This page owns one Common App screen: Family / household. It is not another application checklist. For the full document inventory, use the college application checklist. For who enters the data, use the parent-student responsibility map.
Fields below follow official Common App materials dated 25 June 2025 and the current first-year application guide. Labels in the live form can change. Match the application, not this page, if they disagree. Do not add essays, activities, Additional Information writing, FERPA, or aid filing here.
Official sources used for this worksheet: Gather your materials (PDF, 2025-06-25), the first-year application guide, Common App applicant help on limited parent information, and more than five siblings.
Family-section hand-off
0 of 5 sibling rows have a name or age. Parent education and job fields are the ones Common App tells families to gather in advance.
Household
Common App's Family section includes a Household subsection. Write the answers as they should appear on the live form, including parents' marital status relative to each other.
Parent 1 and Parent 2
Occupation, job title, employment status, education level, college name and location, degree, and year earned are the parent facts Common App lists for this section. Leave a field blank if the live form does not ask for it.
Parent 1
Parent 2
Siblings
Common App applicant help allows siblings, half siblings, or step siblings only, and caps this part of the Family section at five. If there are more than five, the extra names go in Additional Information. This worksheet does not write that section. Do not draft Additional Information here.
