SJA College Counseling Information

It is that time of year for seniors to start preparing for a college transition. We know that this process might be filled with much excitement, but we also know that there might be some feelings of anxiety which is totally normal

Some students will be moving, and as a way to prepare we wanted to share some helpful information: make sure you have signed up for orientation (check portal and emails), make a list of dorm items needed, think about campus safety, understand potential mental health concerns and consider joining clubs and/or organizations (below you will find links with more information on these topics)

To celebrate this next step in the academic journey, the president's office will be having the annual College Signing Day on Tuesday, May 16th at 2:30 pm in the Student Center.

It is important to continue doing college research via Cialfo or these two websites that may also be helpful in this process.
