NAVIANCE STUDENT

(The Guidance Office website)

Naviance Student

Naviance Student offers a number of innovative, easy-to-use, web applications for high school students and their parents to assist with a variety of tasks such as: college research, college planning, the college application process, teacher recommendation requests, career planning, and much more.

College Planner

College Planner is a powerful tool to assist students and parents with the college search and application process. The Guidance Department has used the Counselor Connection, powered by Naviance, to keep track of RHS college admissions data. To make admissions comparisons more accurate, only data from Ridgewood High School students is employed (2015-2019). Senior survey notebooks containing this data are available in the Guidance office for students and parents to peruse.

NAVIANCE College Planner will help you:

  • Complete and save a comprehensive college search (College tab/Find Your Fit/Advanced College Search [juniors and seniors only]).
  • Keep track of your PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP test scores (About Me Tab/My Stuff/Test Scores).
  • Develop an activity sheet (About Me/My Stuff/Resume).
  • Check admissions results for RHS students with comparable GPAs and SATs/ACTs (College Tab).
  • Find out when admissions counselors will be visiting RHS and sign up for the meetings (College Tab/College Home/College Visits [seniors only]).
  • Connect to other useful websites related to college admissions and financial aid (Home Page/Links -- Links to other websites).
  • Receive important e-mail communications from your guidance counselor regarding the college process.
  • Emails will go to both your personal or school e-mail address as established on Naviance AND your INBOX on the NAVIANCE STUDENT site.


NAVIANCE eDocs

This feature of Naviance allows RHS to send all college application school documents electronically to almost all colleges. The forms that will be sent are: Official Transcript, Secondary School Report, Counselor Letter of Recommendation, Teacher Letters of Recommendation, and RHS School Profile. We also receive an electronic date stamp when the college receives the documents and downloads them.
