- New College Rep Visit Sign-Up Procedure for 2012-2013
Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year we will be adopting a new policy for all Juniors and Seniors who want to attend a college rep visit during the school day. We will still be using Naviance however there will be three changes that you need to note:
1. You will need to sign up 1 days in advance
- You will need to print your confirmation page and have your teacher sign it if you are missing a class, including study hall for Juniors.
- You will need to bring your signed confirmation page in order to attend the visit
How To Sign-Up On Naviance
1. Log into your Naviance account and click on the Colleges tab
2. Click on the “Colleges” tab
3. Click on “View All Upcoming College Visits”
4. Locate the College/University(s) visiting LFHS that you are interested in attending
5. Click on “Sign Up”
6. Click on “Sign Me Up” and then print that confirmation page
7. Get permission from your teacher and have them sign your confirmation page.
8. Bring the signed confirmation page with you to the visit-you will not be admitted without it. NoExceptions!

New visits are added to Naviance daily so you should check the schedule each day for updates. If you need assistance, see Mrs. Gleason in the College Resource Center, Room 103A.
NOTE: If you have lunch or a free period, you must still sign-up and bring your confirmation page. You do not need to get a signature if the visit falls during one of those times.

Be Informed of College Application Deadlines!
- The Counseling department would like to inform college-bound
students that it is important to refer to each individual
school as to what is the submission deadline for applying
to the college either on-line or through the mail with
their completed applications and essays and/or personal
statements, if required.
- It is important to find out if the deadline is a "postmarked" deadline
or if it is an "in the admission office" deadline.
- All students applying to college should file their requests
for transcripts in the College
Transcripts Office, Room 104.
Students must:
- Log into Naviance
- When in Naviance select the “colleges” tab on the top of the page.
- Select “transcripts” from the left column.
- Select “request transcripts for my college applications.”
- If you are requesting a transcript for a school you have previously put into the “colleges I am applying to” section in Naviance it will appear under “current applications” at the top of the “request transcripts for college applications” page. Check “add request” next to the school you wish to request a transcript for and scroll down to the bottom of that page. Select “Request Transcripts” and you are done.
- If you are requesting a transcript for a school you have not put into the “colleges I am applying to" section under “New Applications” enter the type as regular decision, early action or early decision. Then select “lookup” to the right and a small window will open.

- College Applications Reminders:
- All students should submit their applications to the school and then request the transcript in Naviance ten school days prior to the application deadline date.
Due to the fact that the Transcript Office will be closed over the Holidays, those applications with a deadline for January 1, 2013 must be in the Office by Monday, December 10, 2012 and those with a January 15, 2013 deadline must be filed before 3:00 on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 in order to meet deadlines.
Students must have:
