Counselor Center

The Counselor Center is a free and easy-to-use tool within CollegeInColorado.org that will help you efficiently track and guide your students as they progress through college exploration and selection, financial aid and admission applications. Within the Counselor Center you may:
  • Connect with Your Students by communicating with them through e-mail, either individually or in targeted groups. Send automatic notices and reminders to your students to keep them on track.

  • Organize Your Time and manage your students by grade level or other profile elements. Combine your calendar of events with that of your students.

  • Track Your Students' Progress and stay up-to-date with them as they update their profile and go through the college selection process. Generate reports to learn what students need so that you can focus your efforts.
Be sure to visit the Professional Tools area within the Choices Explorer and Planner career products. This section of Choices contains Explorer or Planner subject area lesson plans, white papers and parent resources. Navigate from the home page to Explore Career Options/Explorer or Planner/Professional Tools (in the upper right corner). The PAAK code sent to your school allows educators to view students' career planning portfolio.
