College Planning
A little clarity goes a long way.
Build a flexible plan around your next decision. These phases are a starting point, not a fixed calendar; use official deadlines for your colleges and entry term.
Explore this guide
A timeline you can adapt.
Explore your options
Reflect on interests, academic preparation and support needs. Research several types of colleges and talk about affordability early.
Build your list
Compare programs and estimated costs. Record application routes, required materials and deadlines in one place.
Prepare your applications
Allow time for writing and feedback. Ask recommenders early, request school documents and confirm each college’s instructions.
Review decisions
Compare admission conditions and complete aid offers, not just award headlines. Ask questions before making a commitment.
Prepare for the transition
Track enrollment tasks, housing, orientation and final documents. Locate academic and wellbeing support before you need it.
