College “Rep Visits” provide you with an opportunity to meet with an admissions representative from a school or institution of your interest.  Ridge High School will be hosting rep visits with admissions representatives from numerous schools, and all college visits will occur in the Media Center during the school day.  Students need to sign up for the visits at least one day prior to the scheduled visit through the google form link posted below, and a Genesis pass will be created. Visits will be either in-person or virtual depending upon the college’s preference. Virtual visits will be accessed on the student’s chromebook in the media center.

For in-person visits, we highly recommend that students explore specific school websites and admissions office webpages for Q&A sessions and information about visiting schools.  In-person visits are strongly recommended by our department, and it is important for colleges to see your demonstrated interest.  Many colleges are organizing events and sessions on their own timetable (both in-person and virtually), so check their websites for more information.  Virtual options and tours continue to be available at many colleges and universities, including 360 degree tours, virtual information sessions, etc.  Attending these virtual events can be helpful.  Visit each school's website for more information.
