Preparing to apply to college is a lot of work. Prospective students page through glossy college brochures, comb the internet for information and reviews about postsecondary institutions, write personal statements, ask for teacher recommendations, negotiate the fine print of financial aid, correspond with counselors and admissions officers, and take standardized tests, among other tasks. PowerSchool Naviance CCLR, the leading college, career, and life readiness platform, aims to make the college application process more manageable and accessible for all students.
Naviance CCLR’s college profile pages are designed to make it easier for students to navigate the higher education maze when applying to college. These pages provide personalized information and cater to students’ unique needs and preferences when looking at universities to help them decide if a school is a good fit. Here are three ways Naviance CCLR college profile pages help students find their best-fit college.
1. Empowering Information
New and prominently displayed data on Naviance CCLR college profiles ensures that students have the critical information they need to decide where to apply to college and the deadlines for their application. College profile pages display information on schools’ acceptance, retention, and graduation rates, distance from students’ high school, and residential requirements at more than 4,000 U.S. and international institutions. Recent new enhancements include virtual campus tours for participating colleges. Called YouVisit, this feature provides a more immersive college research experience for students and guardians to gain deeper insights into student life at a particular school. The new profiles also display critical financial details including the average total cost for universities based on students’ family income, the average monthly loan repayment amount for alumni, and the average amount of financial aid packages delivered to students.
2. College Admissions Stats
Ever wonder what a college values in applicants? Insight into how specific colleges weigh different application factors is now available to help students determine their likelihood of being admitted. Application factors include curriculum rigor, standardized test scores, GPA, extracurricular activities, leadership positions, and other considerations. A fresh look for scattergrams provides tangible evidence based on GPA and SAT or ACT test scores for how students compare to peers from their high school when applying to a college. This helps students understand reach schools vs. safe schools, giving important information so that students may make well-informed decisions about where they choose to apply.
3. Connect with Colleges
It’s now easier than ever for students to connect with colleges through Naviance CCLR college profile pages. High school students can communicate directly with college admissions officers and request additional information about their institution. In addition to communication with colleges, high schools can activate ActiveMatch Events in Naviance CCLR to highlight university on-campus and regional events for students, and students can organize and register for events directly through the platform. With RepVisits directly embedded within Naviance CCLR, counselors can post available dates and times for interviews, allowing colleges to host onsite or virtual visits for students. Naviance CCLR also includes direct integration with Parchment and Common App, providing students with a one-stop shop to easily track important deadlines and request transcripts and letters of recommendation.
