Apply to College/Trade School

Here you will find direct links to apply to Michigan's public colleges and universities, local private colleges and trade schools. Here are some super important things to remember as you complete college applications:

You are an UNDERGRADUATE student. Make sure you fill out the correct application!

If you have a social security number, MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE IT ON YOUR APP! This is how they will match your FAFSA for financial aid to your college application. If you don't include it, it creates a lot of problems down the road with financial aid that I am unable to help solve due to FERPA laws.

MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR ENTIRE NAME! If you have two last names, use them both, even if you only typically use one. Your name used must be your full, legal name and MUST match the name you include on your FAFSA!
After applying, you will need to request a copy of your official transcript be sent to the university. You will do this via your Parchment account. ( Note: Counselors will not personally send transcripts! )
Some schools, for Fall 2025 admission, are not requiring SAT or ACT scores for admission. Check to see if this is the case for the school(s) you're applying too. If you do need scores sent, you will request this via Collegeboard.org.
When applying to trade school, many will require your WorkKeys test score results!
