Group of Colleges Unveils Plan for New, Streamlined Application

A group of more than 80 private and public colleges has formally announced plans to develop a free platform that would “streamline the experience of planning for applying to college,” according to its website.

As The Chronicle first reported last fall, the shared application would allow students to apply to one or more member institutions. The group — the Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success — plans to make college-planning tools available to students in January, with many of the colleges accepting applications through the system starting next summer.
