Automated emails about missing documents
In some cases, universities will contact students to say that documents haven't been received, even before the university's own system has processed all the documents received.What to do - ParchmentAs soon as one of your students receives an email like this, we recommend contacting the university to double-check that the document is indeed missing. We've added Parchment's document ID to Student's Application page and Advisor's Document Sending page, which you can include in the email to help the university find the right document. Please also refer to this article: Tracking Documents sent through Parchment.

What to do - Common App
Please first check with students to make sure they have already submitted their applications on Common App as documents will only be delivered from Common App to universities after students' application submission. On BridgeU, if the documents are showing sent status but the university hasn't downloaded them and is still claiming they haven't received them, please contact the university to make them aware that the documents have been delivered to Common App and it's ready for them to download from their own Common App member account. If the status is showing downloaded on BridgeU, this might be because universities haven't updated the document status on their own application portal after downloading. Please let the university know that Common App shows the documents have been downloaded by them and request to update the status on their own application portal to reflect this.
