COLLEGE APPLICATION DAY @ ROCKRIDGE
I plan to have a College Application Day this year on Friday, October 8, periods 3, 4, 6 & 7. This will be an opportunity for seniors to schedule some supervised time to work on applications, and get any help needed from the counseling office. Also, I am always more than willing to help you individually with any college applications you are working on. Please email me so we can set up a time to meet if you need help. abohnsack@rr300.org.
COLLEGE NIGHT AT BLACK HAWK COLLEGE
BHC's college night is back! This is an even where the college brings in about 80 area colleges/universities/military for our area high school students to attend. The event is an open house, so you can spend as much, or as little time visiting booths as you choose. This year's college night is scheduled for Thursday, September 30 from (5-6:30 PM) in Building 3 at the college. See Mrs. Bohnsack if you have questions.
OPEN HOUSE OPPORTUNITIES
Listed below are open house dates for Illinois and Iowa State Schools. You will also see several popular private colleges listed. You can visit a college almost any day of the week. However, Open House Visits sometimes are a little more comprehensive for prospective students. They are also often held on holidays which can be helpful for your schedule. See Mrs. Bohnsack if you would like help setting up college visits, or need the paperwork necessary for a school excuse. Remember, you are entitled to 1 college visit and a junior, and 2 as a senior as long as you get the appropriate paperwork from the counseling office.

ADMISSION REPRESENTATIVE VISITS
Many admission representatives will come to Rockridge to visit during the fall and spring months. They will talk to interested students, answer any questions you might have, and provide you with handouts regarding their school. If you are interested in any of the colleges listed here, please see the guidance office for a pass in advance. You are not limited to the amount of times you can come up for these talks, but please only plan to attend if you can afford to miss class and truly have an interest in that particular school. College rep. visits are open to Juniors and Seniors. Typically, talks are geared towards seniors in the fall and juniors in the spring. However, you may attend either session at any time as an upperclassman. Please realize that these sessions will be offered as a google meet, and not in person this fall.
