COLLEGE VISITS & COLLEGE FAIRS

GENERAL INFORMATION

All Juniors and Seniors are given 2 excused absence days per school year to visit a college campus. In order for your absence to be approved you must complete this process:

  • REQUIRED: Request a letter from the college/university stating that you were visiting their campus on a specific date(s) and confirm that it includes a school official's signature. This cannot be a brochure, flyer, or an email. It MUST be a letter on school letterhead with your name and student ID written on it.
  • Excused absences will only be honored if the student follows all directions for the college visit.
