How does Inline work? What do I need to have in order to use it?

Inline is a software extension that works with Google Chrome® on your desktop, laptop, or Chromebook. Once you download it, it launches automatically when you open the Common App and is constantly active to support you while you complete the application — hence the name Inline.

In order to use it, you'll need:

a computer with internet access
the Chrome browser, which, if you don't already have it, is downloadable for free
your own Common Application account at www.commonapp.org
