If you have any questions about college or career choices, your school counselor would be happy to meet with you and discuss your options and answer any questions you may have. Students see more information on college visits here.
COLLEGE VISITS
Each year admissions representatives from colleges, universities, trade schools and the military visit Waubonsie Valley during the school day to give presentations about their schools and to meet Waubonsie students. Attending a college rep visit is a good way for students to gain information about a school he/she is potentially interested in to see if it would be a good fit and to get their questions answered. This is one way of building or narrowing a college list to decide which schools to visit and ultimately to which to apply. Seniors may login to Naviance with their student email and computer login to view and sign up for upcoming college visits.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A COLLEGE VISIT:
Students may login to SchooLinks with their SSO account to view and sign up for upcoming college visits. On SchooLinks, the visit calendar is updated as new visits are scheduled. Please check SchooLinks frequently! College Visits are also advertised on the hallway TVs during the school day.
Once you are logged in to SchooLinks, access a full list of scheduled visits by clicking on the "Colleges" tab and then "View All Upcoming Visits." Students can sign up for college visits on SchooLinks or in the College and Career Center. Underclassmen should view the student splash page for a list of upcoming visits.
