Counseling

College-bound student athletes preparing to enroll in a Division I or II school need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to ensure they have met the standards required and are academically prepared for college course work. 

The Common Application currently allows students to apply to 488 different colleges, and is currently our application of choice for students applying to two or more colleges. Students applying to colleges that do not use the common application should consider either the SUNY application, or individual college websites.

In addition to testing information(SAT I, SAT II, AP) this site includes college information for students, parents, teachers and counselors.

Canandaigua Academy Counseling Center is pleased to announce that we have implemented a new college guidance management system called Scoir (pronounced "score"). This new, modern online system will streamline the process of requesting, processing, sending and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. More importantly, it's much more helpful for students and parents during the college search and selection process.

On Scoir, colleges come to life through pictures, videos and links that highlight active student clubs and organizations. This better enables students to identify colleges that are a good fit with their personal and academic interests, which increases college retention. You will also be able to see what colleges are visiting and sign up to meet with the Admissions Representative.

Scoir also provides parents with useful financial calculators so you can determine the likely cost of attendance at different colleges and consider the affordability when deciding where to apply. These features, along with more convenient scheduling and communication tools, will help keep everyone informed and engaged throughout the college application process.

Scoir exists to help more students achieve more positive outcomes, and we're excited that our students have access to this system and the opportunities it provides.  If a student or parent has not accessed their account and would like to please email Mrs. Schaertl  schaertld@canandaiguaschools.org to receive an invitation link. 

IN addition to ones listed please feel free to do a national search using FASTWEB.COM
