College Admissions Officer Visits and On-Site Admissions

 

College representatives will be scheduled to visit Lake Orion High School in the fall for informational sessions. The procedure is as follows for students wishing to attend informational presentations:

The dates and times of the college representative visits will be emailed to all Junior and Senior LOHS students.

1.  Students will be able to follow the link provided and then click on the College of their choice to complete the form.

2.  Students should input a reminder into their calendars, so they do not miss the opportunities that they are committing to.

3. On the day of the informational college visit, the students will go to the Career center for a pass to attend the group presentations. Passes may also be picked up the day prior to the scheduled visit (in the afternoon).

4. Students are responsible for coursework missed while attending the presentation.

Some colleges conduct on-site admissions at the high school. These opportunities are reserved for seniors only. During an on-site admission, a student who has followed the proper procedure has an opportunity to meet with a college representative and get an immediate decision regarding their admission status. During these face to face meetings, students are expected to personally describe their accomplishments and academic success, and have their questions about the colleges answered. The procedure is as follows for on-site admissions:

1. Only certain institutions offer on-site admissions. If on-site admissions meetings are offered it will be indicated on the sign-up form for that particular college. When completing the form, students will have the opportunity to request an on-site admissions session (first-come, first serve basis).
2. Any student who signs up for an on-site interview must also attend the informational session with the same college.
3. Specific requirements and necessary documents for the on-site admissions process will vary by institution. These requirements will be communicated to students initially with the sign-up survey and via a follow-up email. In general, most colleges will require a completed, hard copy application. Additional items that are usually requested include copies of transcripts, ACT/SAT scores, and an application fee (only checks or money orders will be accepted).
4. Students should be prepared and dressed “business casual” when meeting with the college representative.
5. On the day of the on-site college visit, the student must pick up their pass to attend the meeting from the Career Center before school begins.
