Post-Secondary Planning
College Entrance Requirements
Each university and college will have their own specific set of entrance requirements including an accepted range of ACT scores and high school curriculum required. A real simple way to find out about the schools requirements that interest you is to visit their website and look at their admission page. Your school counselor is more than happy to assist you in exploring your options with you.
Visit with an Admissions Representative
Admissions representatives from area colleges, universities, and technical schools set up times to meet with any interested juniors and seniors to share information about their school. This is a great opportunity for our students to determine what schools they would like to visit for a campus tour.
Here are the reps scheduled to see us:
Off Campus College Visits
The best way to find out if a college or university is the one for you is to visit in person and get a feel for the culture. You do not want to commit to going to a school where you have never set foot on the campus.
Seniors may visit colleges on their own and bring back documentation to verify the visit. Please stop by the Counseling Office to pick up a form (or click here for form) for attendance purposes. It is advisable to make an appointment in advance of your visit. All students are encouraged to use early release days and non-school days to visit colleges. If you would like help in scheduling a visit to a college or university, please ask your counselor.
