- Research Colleges - Naviance!
Each fall, around 200 college admissions officers visit LFHS. The list of scheduled visits is posted on Naviance. Visits are updated frequently and are not announced each day, so you should check the schedule on Naviance for additions and changes to the visit list. Most visits are held in the CCRC, Room 103A, however some need to be moved to a larger room. A daily list will be posted on the door indicating the time and location of each visit.
1. You must sign up on Naviance at least one day in advance even if you have a free period or lunch. If you do not know your Naviance password, see Mrs. Gleason in the CCRC.
2. You must clear your absence with you teacher prior to attending the visit. If you do not, your absence will be considered unexcused.
3. The list of students attending each of the college visits for that day will be printed first thing in the morning and if your name is not on that list you may not be allowed to attend the visit. Check on Naviance to make sure that you are signed up for the visit(s) you wish to attend. It will say "attending" next to the college's name.
4. No pink slips will be signed!
- College Visits are opportunities
for students to meet with college representatives who come to LFHS.

College Visit Information-Effective Immediately:
- You must sign up 1 day in advance in Naviance. Once the registration is closed you will be unable to sign up for the visit and if your name is not on the visit list you will not be allowed to stay-NO EXCEPTIONS-So make sure to sign up in advance if there is a college visit you want to attend.
- If you are no longer planning to attend a visit please remove your name from the list. Many students who have signed up to attend are not showing up. When a college rep expects 30 students and only 16 show up it does not reflect well on our high school.
- If you are unable to attend, but would like Mrs. Gleason to get handouts for you, please stop by the CRC or send her an email: jgleason@lfschools.net
- Don’t forget to clear all visits with your teachers prior to attending the visit.
