Naviance College Search
This research tool provides comprehensive information on thousands of colleges. In addition to general and admissions information you can access data on academics, cost and financial aid, student body characteristics, extracurricular and athletic programs. A link to each college’s website is provided. Students can gauge their own chances of acceptance by comparing personal GPA/test statistics with those of successful applicants and save their college search results.
Naviance Self-Discovery Assessments
Personality type, strengths, and interests are foundational to students’ education, career, and life goals. Self-Discovery Assessments in Naviance focus on a student's strengths, talents, and interests to help instill self-confidence for today and the future. Creating connections between skills, interests, and long-term goals helps students to know where to begin, and to realize their own future success. Under the "Self-Discovery" section in Naviance students will have access to the following tools to help further research careers.
College Application Process
In your personal account, Naviance Student allows you to organize personal data, lay out a game plan, maintain a list of prospective colleges, and track the application process. Important information from the Student Services Department will periodically be posted on Naviance, such as directions for Letters of Recommendation and special events like financial aid night and other opportunities.
