Just like how students can add a college application tracker to their list of college applications in Xello, you can add a tracker for them. This could be helpful when you're working one-on-one with a student to build their college applications, or to help ensure accurate record of where students are applying for tracking purposes.

For students, this will help them track their tasks, view their deadlines, request transcripts and recommendation letters be sent. Once an educator has added an application tracker for them, it will immediately show on the student's list of college applications with an Added by badge and the name of the educator. Students can still edit or delete any application you add, so they can correct or update information as needed.

Meanwhile, from their Xello Family account, parents/guardians will also be able to see the application and who it was added by.

Add an application to a student's tracker

Adding an application is done from the student's profile in Xello. Once you've added the application, you'll be able to view your addition, plus any applications added by other educators or the student.

To add an application to a student's tracker: 

1. In the search bar located at the top of any page in your educator account, enter the student's name or ID.

7. To finish building the application tracker, click Create.
   • The new application will immediately show in the list of the student's applications with your name in the Added by column. Other educators, the student, and their parents/guardians will see that you added the application.

Edit or delete educator-added applications

Once you have added an application, you can make changes. You can edit the application method, admission type, or deadline, or delete the application entirely, as long as you were the one who created it. You cannot edit or delete applications that were added by the student, another educator, or is a synced Common App application. These will be indicated with a locked symbol.

To edit or delete an application you added:

1. In the search bar located at the top of any page in your educator account, enter the student's name or ID.
