College VisitsCollege Visits Agenda page 49 A senior student may take one (1) college visit that does
not count as an absence from school. After that, he/she may take four (4) additional visits that will count as excused absences from school (unless they have already missed more than eight (8) days of school). Any request to make more than five college visits during the senior year will require prior approval by the principal. Requests to use a College Visit should be made in the Guidance Office at least one week prior to the visit. The student must pick up a college visit form from the guidance office.
An official at the college upon completion of the visit must sign this. Students are not allowed to make a college visit during the last two weeks of school or during final examinations. The student does not need to inform the Guidance Office or obtain approval for college visits made on a school break or on a weekend.
