COLLEGE COUNSELING

The College Counseling office provides support for each Ursuline student and their family as they navigate the college admissions process. The College Counselors are committed to staying current on the latest admission trends and to advocating for our students at the colleges and universities to which they apply. Through group meetings with students during all four years and through individual meetings with students during sophomore, junior and senior years, College Counselors provide resources to guide our students and their families. Information pertaining to the college admissions process and related activities is shared with students and their parents/guardians through the Ursuline website, the College Counseling Parent Resource Page, Naviance, Quicklinks, email, and text notifications. The College Counselors welcome students in all four classes who wish to consult with them regarding college admission questions.

College Visit Days

First and second semester discretionary college visit days are pre-arranged days which a student may use for college visits or scholarship interviews during the admission process. To request a college visit day, a student must send one group email to all teachers for classes she would miss on her visit day. This email should be sent at least 4 days before her planned visit, and should have her College Counselor, Attendance, and a parent/guardian copied on the email as well. The subject line should read “College Visit.” In the message, please include the date(s) class will be missed, along with the name and location of the college(s). A student must complete all her classwork prior to leaving for her college visit. Sophomores have two college visit days in the spring semester. Juniors have two college visit days during the fall semester and two college visit days in the spring semester. Seniors have three college visit days each semester to use at their discretion. College Visit Days may not be applied during the class retreats and special program days. *Additional college visits days must be approved by the College Counseling Office and the Dean of Students Office.
