College Rep Visits

 Instructions for Signing-up For College Rep Visits

All grade levels are welcome to the rep visits!

Please sign-up at least one day in advance of the visit at the College and Career Center with Ms. Cifuentes. College visits will be taking place during lunch. A pass will be sent out to serve as a reminder. The visits are normally about 35-40 minutes long. At the end of the visit, the student’s pass will be signed for them to return to class. Students are encouraged to attend a few visits. Students find it helpful to hear what colleges have to offer and to hear questions asked by other students as well as have the opportunity to ask any questions if they arise.
