00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:03.130
So, I'm Nancy Wolfe.
2
00:00:03.130 --> 00:00:04.750
I'm one of the college counselors
3
00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.563
and this is Sheri Crigger.
4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.150
I am the college counselor
5
00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:13.860
at New Century, Columbia High School,
6
00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:15.540
and Huntsville High School.
7
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.893
And Sheri, do you want to introduce yourself?
8
00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:22.850
Sure, I am the college counselor
9
00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:25.903
at Grissom, Jemison, and Lee High Schools.
10
00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:31.090
We're split, we're taking turns on these sessions,
11
00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:33.490
but normally when we're in school,
12
00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:36.853
we're at the schools one or two days a week.
13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.414
Yes.
14
00:00:39.414 --> 00:00:40.993
We love them all.
15
00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.970
So maybe not the most riveting session,
16
00:00:45.970 --> 00:00:50.900
but this is a kind of how to session about Naviance.
17
00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:53.330
The deal with Naviance is
18
00:00:53.330 --> 00:00:54.720
the reason we decided to do this is
19
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.970
we always get a lot of questions about seniors, primarily,
20
00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:00.663
how to use Naviance.
21
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.400
This is how they have to request transcripts
22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.410
for their schools that they're applying to.
23
00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:10.200
So if nothing else, they need it for that.
24
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.700
There are a couple other things
25
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:15.440
that are very useful tools in Naviance.
26
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.270
This is not a wordy PowerPoint.
27
00:01:18.270 --> 00:01:22.240
I mostly did screenshots to walk everybody through
28
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:24.253
how to do these things.
29
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.920
Also, we are keeping track of who's attending.
30
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.790
That is my work cell phone number
31
00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:34.180
on the screen in the green area.
32
00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:36.780
If you would, and you're probably gonna hear my phone ding,
33
00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:40.030
but I don't know how to actually turn volume off,
34
00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:44.380
but if you will text me your name
35
00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:47.420
and the school that you attend or are a part of
36
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.330
that would be great.
37
00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:51.040
We're just trying to make sure, you know,
38
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.930
how well we're getting the information out and all of that.
39
00:01:53.930 --> 00:01:57.200
And I'm going to start talking while y'all are doing that.
40
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.360
So, let me turn that off.
41
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:04.720
So this, particularly, is geared towards seniors.
42
00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:08.780
So this is a list of all the things that seniors
43
00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:14.700
usually use or can use Naviance for.
44
00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:17.040
One is keeping a list of colleges
45
00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:18.453
that they're interested in,
46
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:24.110
two, searching for scholarships, requesting transcripts,
47
00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:27.090
college searches, investigating careers.
48
00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:28.500
There are self-assessments
49
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.660
related to that career investigation
50
00:02:31.660 --> 00:02:34.243
and also creating a resume.
51
00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:40.910
We suggest to students that over the summer
52
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:45.260
they work on creating a resume
53
00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:48.170
because they will need that at some point.
54
00:02:48.170 --> 00:02:51.880
They might not need the resume itself physically on paper,
55
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:54.800
but they will need the information on the resume,
56
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.610
especially when they sit down
57
00:02:56.610 --> 00:02:59.080
to fill in college applications
58
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.360
or more likely scholarship applications.
59
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.340
That way it's right there in front of them.
60
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:05.070
They don't have to reinvent the wheel
61
00:03:05.070 --> 00:03:07.453
every time they're filling out an application.
62
00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:12.930
Okay, so first thing is these are the instructions
63
00:03:12.930 --> 00:03:15.043
for how to log in to Naviance.
64
00:03:16.770 --> 00:03:17.603
And again,
65
00:03:17.603 --> 00:03:19.940
you're welcome to screenshot any of these screens.
66
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:21.210
I don't care.
67
00:03:21.210 --> 00:03:23.580
We also sent these out
68
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:27.660
I think last Friday, if I'm not mistaken,
69
00:03:27.660 --> 00:03:30.980
with our weekly email and attached it to those.
70
00:03:30.980 --> 00:03:34.660
Students should be getting emails as well as parents.
71
00:03:34.660 --> 00:03:38.870
And if you're not getting an email to your email account,
72
00:03:38.870 --> 00:03:41.100
you can go into your Naviance account
73
00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:44.710
and edit your personal information and add your email.
74
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:46.390
But when you go into Naviance,
75
00:03:46.390 --> 00:03:50.210
there is a message option on the front on the homepage.
76
00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:52.550
And you'll see that you have messages in there from me
77
00:03:52.550 --> 00:03:56.390
and those are, you know, the emails that I'm sending out.
78
00:03:56.390 --> 00:03:59.600
But logging into Naviance,
79
00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:01.790
you can do it several different ways,
80
00:04:01.790 --> 00:04:05.880
but the easiest way is to go through the Clever app
81
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:09.440
on your home screen on your laptop.
82
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:12.560
Because that way, once you get into Clever,
83
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.250
I think the Naviance app is a teal color.
84
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:16.540
Then you click on that
85
00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:21.420
and you do not have to use a username or password.
86
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:24.160
So that's really nice.
87
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.270
So I would say all students need to do that.
88
00:04:27.270 --> 00:04:31.380
Now there are usernames and passwords for parents.
89
00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:34.983
So parents, if you want to use the Naviance app,
90
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.280
you're more than welcome to but you will need to email
91
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.690
me or Ms. Crigger or the senior counselor
92
00:04:43.690 --> 00:04:46.390
in order to get your username and password.
93
00:04:46.390 --> 00:04:50.170
And we will be happy to help you with that.
94
00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:51.820
And as far as parents go,
95
00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:56.820
the way you would log into Naviance is this option three.
96
00:04:58.090 --> 00:05:00.380
That is how parents would have to go in.
97
00:05:00.380 --> 00:05:02.980
'Cause obviously y'all, don't have the Clever app.
98
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:05.880
So, okay, moving right along.
99
00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:08.740
If at any time you have questions
100
00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.670
or if I kind of gloss over something,
101
00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:12.460
you're like, wait, I didn't get all that,
102
00:05:12.460 --> 00:05:14.713
please put them in the chat box.
103
00:05:16.534 --> 00:05:17.930
Sheri's gonna be monitoring that.
104
00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:19.940
And then we'll answer questions at the end
105
00:05:19.940 --> 00:05:21.920
'cause I don't anticipate this presentation
106
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.740
take the whole half hour so we can do this.
107
00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:27.230
So like I said, this is not a wordy PowerPoint.
108
00:05:27.230 --> 00:05:28.380
It's screenshots.
109
00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:31.893
I made a test student for this.
110
00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:36.440
And so right when you log in,
111
00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:40.550
so once you go into Clever and then you log into Naviance,
112
00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:42.770
this is the home screen that you see.
113
00:05:42.770 --> 00:05:45.040
And I'm gonna shrink my little box here.
114
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.750
So this is the home screen that you see.
115
00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:52.750
And we're gonna talk about requesting transcripts first,
116
00:05:53.270 --> 00:05:57.010
because that's the most often used
117
00:05:57.010 --> 00:06:01.640
I'd say capability of Naviance for seniors.
118
00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:06.010
So this is where you would click, Colleges I'm applying to.
119
00:06:06.010 --> 00:06:07.970
Can y'all see, Sheri, can you see
120
00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:10.113
my cursor as I'm moving it?
121
00:06:17.421 --> 00:06:18.254
Okay.
122
00:06:19.510 --> 00:06:21.960
Sorry, did you say you can see it while I'm moving it?
123
00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:23.020
Oh, great. Okay, sorry.
124
00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:24.533
I had the pictures turned off.
125
00:06:25.770 --> 00:06:29.940
So you noticed that these same things
126
00:06:29.940 --> 00:06:33.450
are listed up here, as well, so, but anyhow.
127
00:06:33.450 --> 00:06:36.240
So you're gonna click on Colleges I'm applying to.
128
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.080
And once you do that, it takes you to this page.
129
00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:41.250
And I just did a cutout.
130
00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:43.930
There's actually more stuff in the white area,
131
00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:47.220
but I wanted you to pay and, sorry, I'm the worst drawer.
132
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:50.123
That is my messy little arrow right there.
133
00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.500
But you click on this button.
134
00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:57.310
It's a red button with a white plus sign
135
00:06:57.310 --> 00:06:59.480
and that's your add button.
136
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.683
And so you're gonna click on that.
137
00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:04.710
And these are exactly in the directions,
138
00:07:04.710 --> 00:07:05.940
the written directions, as well.
139
00:07:05.940 --> 00:07:10.303
I just I'm a visual person so I wanted lots of this.
140
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.440
And I filled this in,
141
00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.350
but you're going to come to your next screen.
142
00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:17.360
It says, which college are you applying to?
143
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.423
And I typed in The University of Alabama.
144
00:07:21.190 --> 00:07:23.670
It tells you when their priority deadline is
145
00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.420
for applications.
146
00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:29.090
This might be application type.
147
00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:30.840
You have a dropdown,
148
00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:34.470
but this is, you know, their deadline to apply.
149
00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:38.850
And there's a question here, I'll submit my application.
150
00:07:38.850 --> 00:07:41.720
Now, there are a few choices here,
151
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.993
depending on your college.
152
00:07:44.970 --> 00:07:45.930
There is something,
153
00:07:45.930 --> 00:07:48.460
if you guys were in our other talks
154
00:07:48.460 --> 00:07:51.070
about The Common Application,
155
00:07:51.070 --> 00:07:53.100
and there's some other ones too,
156
00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:56.030
but if this was UAB,
157
00:07:56.030 --> 00:07:59.060
UAB you can apply directly to the institution.
158
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:00.490
And that means you're using
159
00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:04.550
the college's own online application
160
00:08:05.580 --> 00:08:08.800
or you could do Common App.
161
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.660
But you have to dictate which of those you're using.
162
00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:15.760
So University of Alabama does not have The Common App.
163
00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:19.550
They don't accept it so there's no other option there.
164
00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:21.890
But some schools will.
165
00:08:21.890 --> 00:08:24.740
I want to say this, just so you know,
166
00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.940
if you're applying to five schools
167
00:08:27.940 --> 00:08:31.870
and only one or two or I'd say even all five,
168
00:08:31.870 --> 00:08:35.780
if they're state schools like UAB,
169
00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:39.010
Mississippi State, whoever else,
170
00:08:39.010 --> 00:08:41.700
those applications are only going to take you
171
00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:45.160
about 10 minutes to do and to complete.
172
00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:48.070
Whereas The Common App is going to take you roughly,
173
00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.820
I'd say on average an hour and a half.
174
00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:53.180
None of those schools, like the UABs,
175
00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:55.530
the Alabama's of the world, the state schools,
176
00:08:55.530 --> 00:08:59.050
require recommendations or essays or any of that
177
00:08:59.050 --> 00:09:01.290
and The Common App does.
178
00:09:01.290 --> 00:09:05.070
And so, it's not because it's a better application.
179
00:09:05.070 --> 00:09:07.490
It's just the same application
180
00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:09.520
that can be sent to multiple schools.
181
00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:12.700
So just be sure you always put something here.
182
00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:14.310
If you don't answer this,
183
00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:16.370
it will come up as a question mark
184
00:09:16.370 --> 00:09:18.480
and we will not be able to send your transcript
185
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.323
till you fix it.
186
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.960
Then they want to know whether you've submitted
187
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.610
your application.
188
00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:28.610
And honestly, I would always submit the application first
189
00:09:28.630 --> 00:09:31.420
and then request your transcript.
190
00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:35.900
And then you just say, add and request transcript.
191
00:09:35.900 --> 00:09:38.583
And at that point, it takes you here.
192
00:09:39.510 --> 00:09:41.440
There's this caveat up here,
193
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.090
it's telling you about all stuff.
194
00:09:44.180 --> 00:09:48.070
And at the beginning of the year,
195
00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:52.000
everyone is submitting an initial transcript.
196
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.380
It's the first one you've sent to that school.
197
00:09:55.380 --> 00:09:57.320
At the end of the year,
198
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.910
you're going to need to request a final transcript.
199
00:10:00.910 --> 00:10:02.300
'Cause the school is gonna want to know
200
00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:04.900
where you ended up at the end of the year grade-wise
201
00:10:06.096 --> 00:10:07.570
and so you'll do that at the end.
202
00:10:07.570 --> 00:10:09.430
And it says, where are you sending transcripts?
203
00:10:09.430 --> 00:10:10.640
Now, you could add more.
204
00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.350
If you notice on the previous screen,
205
00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:14.423
you could say add more applications.
206
00:10:15.410 --> 00:10:16.710
I just did one.
207
00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:18.920
And then you request and finish.
208
00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:20.740
You don't have to do this at one time.
209
00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:24.840
Let's say you apply to University of Alabama
210
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.170
and then next week you do UAB,
211
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:30.590
you can add as many schools into this list
212
00:10:30.590 --> 00:10:32.350
as you would like.
213
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:35.090
And then you hit request and finish.
214
00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:39.070
Well at that point, sorry, at that point,
215
00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:43.430
once you hit request and finish, it goes into a list.
216
00:10:43.430 --> 00:10:45.560
The registrars at your school
217
00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:48.280
are the people who are setting,
218
00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:50.860
I'm sorry, sending these transcripts.
219
00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:54.940
And they check that list about once or twice a week.
220
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.480
And so once you do that, it'll say, let's say me,
221
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.320
Nancy Wolfe requested a transcript
222
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.093
for University of Alabama.
223
00:11:05.451 --> 00:11:06.900
And then as the registrar,
224
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:09.580
I would upload your transcript, push send.
225
00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:12.410
Now, I'm sure you know this,
226
00:11:12.410 --> 00:11:14.600
but just because you push send
227
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.320
it doesn't automatically send at that moment.
228
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.290
I mean it does, but your transcript's hanging out
229
00:11:20.290 --> 00:11:22.360
I guess in the cloud or whatever
230
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.390
until your particular school virtually reaches out
231
00:11:26.390 --> 00:11:29.150
and grabs it and adds it to your file.
232
00:11:29.150 --> 00:11:32.370
So just 'cause I send it it doesn't mean that transcript
233
00:11:32.370 --> 00:11:35.100
is in somebody's hands in two seconds.
234
00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:38.553
It's sitting there till the college goes out and gets it.
235
00:11:39.565 --> 00:11:41.820
So, okay just wanted to say that.
236
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:42.940
And that is the bulk.
237
00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:46.193
But I want to point out a few more things for you guys.
238
00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:51.390
So there is something called About Me
239
00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:54.860
and it's under My Stuff.
240
00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:58.280
I mean, I'm sorry, My Stuff and it's About Me.
241
00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.700
The thing with this,
242
00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.940
and I didn't go into specific
243
00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.530
pictures with this or screenshots,
244
00:12:07.530 --> 00:12:12.530
but under My Surveys there's so much stuff under here.
245
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.420
There's a senior questionnaire under My Surveys
246
00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:21.220
that's active for some of the schools that you can use
247
00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:23.853
in order to give your senior counselor.
248
00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:27.500
They're gonna ask for some type of information about you
249
00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.267
to help them write recommendations
250
00:12:29.267 --> 00:12:31.960
and you could use this for your teachers too.
251
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.690
So that would be a great tool.
252
00:12:33.690 --> 00:12:37.710
I want to show you the resume function here.
253
00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:39.757
This is so easy
254
00:12:39.757 --> 00:12:42.260
and you don't have to use this resume layout.
255
00:12:42.260 --> 00:12:44.810
I don't care, but it is really easy.
256
00:12:44.810 --> 00:12:47.297
I mean it literally prompts you and you type in your stuff
257
00:12:47.297 --> 00:12:50.210
and it automatically sets it up for you.
258
00:12:50.210 --> 00:12:53.790
I would definitely take time to do those two things
259
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.920
just to have them.
260
00:12:56.920 --> 00:12:58.540
And if you don't use them, that's fine.
261
00:12:58.540 --> 00:12:59.373
But I would do that
262
00:12:59.373 --> 00:13:03.340
because if you ask the teacher for a recommendation,
263
00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.780
they're going to want a resume.
264
00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:07.160
But you know you just don't want your teachers
265
00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:12.160
to re-explain your resume 'cause that's really boring.
266
00:13:13.060 --> 00:13:15.150
Your teachers need to write personally
267
00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:16.600
about their interactions with you
268
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.380
and how you are as a person.
269
00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:22.370
And this survey, the HCS Senior Data Packet,
270
00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:24.363
would help them do that.
271
00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.000
Okay, now careers.
272
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.883
Sheri and I get a lot of information about,
273
00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:33.010
I want to go to college
274
00:13:33.010 --> 00:13:35.140
but I have no idea of what I want to do.
275
00:13:35.140 --> 00:13:38.560
Again, this is on your homepage across the top.
276
00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:43.560
So under Careers you have all of these dropdown menus.
277
00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:47.000
There are ways to explore.
278
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.060
There are all these like assessments that you can do.
279
00:13:50.060 --> 00:13:53.330
I mean, they're not gonna say, oh, you should become
280
00:13:53.330 --> 00:13:56.280
a high school counselor necessarily,
281
00:13:56.280 --> 00:14:00.430
but they're gonna help you whittle down your interests,
282
00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:01.940
things you might be good at,
283
00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:04.000
things that you might be interested in,
284
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.670
and things that maybe you haven't thought about.
285
00:14:06.670 --> 00:14:08.540
Roadtrip Nation is really cool.
286
00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:11.510
They interviewed like thousands of people
287
00:14:11.510 --> 00:14:13.380
and thousands of jobs.
288
00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:15.500
And they're really not stupid videos.
289
00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:18.740
They're actually pretty good, so there's that.
290
00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:20.490
And again, we get a lot of questions like,
291
00:14:20.490 --> 00:14:21.940
can you help me decide what to do?
292
00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:24.280
I'm like, well, I can't help you decide.
293
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.760
I can help you explore and hopefully you'll decide,
294
00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:28.743
but that's a useful tool.
295
00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.320
Scholarships, sorry I experimented.
296
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.130
Hey, Nancy.
Yes.
297
00:14:34.130 --> 00:14:36.180
I just wanna say something real quick
298
00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:38.750
since we were talking about careers.
299
00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:40.950
We are happy to talk to you about that,
300
00:14:40.950 --> 00:14:44.570
but we also have career coaches for each school.
301
00:14:44.570 --> 00:14:48.210
I'm putting their contact information in the chat box.
302
00:14:48.210 --> 00:14:50.640
But we also have a session tomorrow
303
00:14:50.640 --> 00:14:55.490
done by the career coaches to talk about careers.
304
00:14:55.490 --> 00:14:59.150
And so that's tomorrow at two.
305
00:14:59.150 --> 00:15:01.210
And so I just wanted to mention that
306
00:15:01.210 --> 00:15:02.380
while we're on the topic of careers.
307
00:15:02.380 --> 00:15:03.880
No, thank you. That's amazing.
308
00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:05.763
I didn't think about that, yeah.
309
00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:10.283
Okay, so scholarships and money.
310
00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:14.600
So there is a scholarship list
311
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.420
and I'll show you what it looks like.
312
00:15:16.420 --> 00:15:21.420
But under Colleges, you have dropdown menus
313
00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.540
as we've been talking out.
314
00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.850
So colleges I'm applying to,
315
00:15:24.850 --> 00:15:26.840
that's where you also go for your transcripts,
316
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.780
that dropdown menu.
317
00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:31.660
Then you get scholarships and money.
318
00:15:31.660 --> 00:15:33.300
Now and I also want to point out
319
00:15:33.300 --> 00:15:34.850
something else on this page.
320
00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:37.050
There is a list that's actually going to be
321
00:15:37.050 --> 00:15:38.210
more important than ever.
322
00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:41.470
When Sheri and I are in the schools
323
00:15:41.470 --> 00:15:43.270
and you guys are all in schools,
324
00:15:43.270 --> 00:15:46.800
we actually keep hard copies of scholarships for y'all.
325
00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:48.047
So you can just come by and be like,
326
00:15:48.047 --> 00:15:50.200
"Oh, could I get the scholarship for the,
327
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.230
you know, Nancy Wolfe's super special kid award?"
328
00:15:53.230 --> 00:15:55.167
And we're like, "Yes, here you go."
329
00:15:56.370 --> 00:15:59.840
But we keep a list on Naviance.
330
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.800
And so, especially since we're all separated
331
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:05.633
and you're not gonna be able to get hard copies from us,
332
00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:10.697
one, you can always email us and say,
333
00:16:10.697 --> 00:16:13.140
"Oh, I've seen that scholarship.
334
00:16:13.140 --> 00:16:13.973
Where do I find it?"
335
00:16:13.973 --> 00:16:15.850
And I can be, "Oh, it'll be on Naviance."
336
00:16:15.850 --> 00:16:19.053
So on Naviance, you can download scholarships.
337
00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:23.580
You can go to the websites, download them,
338
00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:26.080
do them electronically, whatever.
339
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.220
I just put out a scholarship.
340
00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:32.370
It's our first, it's national, but also local.
341
00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:37.340
It's called the Elks Lodge Student of the Year Scholarship.
342
00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.690
And it's under national.
343
00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:40.870
So the scholarships, and I'll show you again,
344
00:16:40.870 --> 00:16:44.990
are organized by local dash, whatever national dash.
345
00:16:44.990 --> 00:16:49.990
This Elks Lodge scholarship is in the national section
346
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:56.143
because this student of the year is a national scholarship.
347
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:58.450
But once you apply for it,
348
00:16:58.450 --> 00:17:03.040
you are automatically enrolled in the local scholarship.
349
00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:05.800
Locally, the Elks Lodge here locally,
350
00:17:05.800 --> 00:17:06.820
and I'm not kidding y'all,
351
00:17:06.820 --> 00:17:10.750
have 42 $1,000 scholarships to give.
352
00:17:10.750 --> 00:17:11.880
42.
353
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.120
So that's a great one.
354
00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:16.250
And it's one of the only local ones that are open right now.
355
00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:17.920
Also, I want to show you one more thing
356
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.300
and then I'm gonna go onto the scholarship thing.
357
00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:24.860
If you're not sure where you want to go to college,
358
00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:28.867
this has some great research and questions
359
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:35.010
and it will definitely help you and find your fit.
360
00:17:35.010 --> 00:17:36.270
So that's a good tool.
361
00:17:36.270 --> 00:17:37.140
That's all I'm gonna say about,
362
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:38.870
but it's kind of fun to play on.
363
00:17:38.870 --> 00:17:40.670
All right, so when you go into
364
00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:42.670
the Naviance scholarship list,
365
00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:44.333
this is what it looks like.
366
00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:49.420
I said this is obviously the beginning of the alphabet.
367
00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:52.980
So I called everything local dash.
368
00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:55.230
So anything that's under the local heading,
369
00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:58.430
that means it could be Huntsville,
370
00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:03.020
Madison County as a larger entity, Alabama,
371
00:18:03.020 --> 00:18:07.480
or just I even put things in the Southeast under local.
372
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.170
Anything that's listed as national
373
00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:14.870
is like this Sheri Crigger law firm in Colorado Springs
374
00:18:14.870 --> 00:18:18.090
is offering, let's say $1000 scholarship
375
00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:22.770
for students who have been involved
376
00:18:22.770 --> 00:18:26.860
and survived a car accident or whatever.
377
00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:27.990
We get those a lot too.
378
00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:32.300
But that just means they are open nationally.
379
00:18:32.300 --> 00:18:34.450
So as you can see across the top,
380
00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.300
it'll tell you if there's a deadline,
381
00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:38.060
which most of them do have a deadline.
382
00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:39.893
These just didn't list them.
383
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.563
What the award is.
384
00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:46.100
If it's merit-based, that means, you know,
385
00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:48.890
you've done something to earn that.
386
00:18:48.890 --> 00:18:51.210
It's usually grades, GPA, or whatever.
387
00:18:51.210 --> 00:18:54.420
If it's need-based, if there's an essay required,
388
00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:56.370
if there's service requirements.
389
00:18:56.370 --> 00:19:01.370
But you can just click on them and see a further description
390
00:19:01.590 --> 00:19:04.870
and you can find out where to fill it out on a website,
391
00:19:04.870 --> 00:19:08.123
or if it's paper, well, virtual paper,
392
00:19:09.410 --> 00:19:12.370
I will attach it so you can print it off.
393
00:19:12.370 --> 00:19:14.900
And they will give you directions for how you'd submit it,
394
00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:16.510
whether you mail it or email it
395
00:19:16.510 --> 00:19:19.473
or do it, like I said, online.
396
00:19:20.340 --> 00:19:23.770
So and it says when I added these.
397
00:19:23.770 --> 00:19:26.333
So that is the scholarship page.
398
00:19:29.300 --> 00:19:31.140
Oh, this is the SuperMatch.
399
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:33.840
I'm sorry, this is the college search
400
00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:34.700
that I was telling you about.
401
00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:36.630
I forgot I put this on here.
402
00:19:36.630 --> 00:19:39.373
When you click in your college search,
403
00:19:40.270 --> 00:19:44.520
there will be, you click here on Select Criteria.
404
00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:49.220
They are going to give you so many things to choose from
405
00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:52.300
and you rank them on you have to have them,
406
00:19:52.300 --> 00:19:55.950
you don't need them, it'd kind of be nice to have them.
407
00:19:55.950 --> 00:20:00.950
And then what happens is once you do this listing,
408
00:20:01.010 --> 00:20:03.510
it will give you a list of colleges
409
00:20:06.350 --> 00:20:08.790
that meet those requirements for you.
410
00:20:08.790 --> 00:20:12.110
And it's just a great, sorry, it's a great tool,
411
00:20:12.110 --> 00:20:13.960
especially if you're not sure where you want to go.
412
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.740
So and these are the criteria up above.
413
00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:20.340
Location, academics, admissions,
414
00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:23.300
like student life, on and on,
415
00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:28.300
so you can sort them by all of those criteria.
416
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:36.180
Like I said that is essentially the Naviance thing.
417
00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:40.070
And I'm wondering when I'm going to start, stop sharing.
418
00:20:40.070 --> 00:20:41.543
If I can manage that.
419
00:20:43.790 --> 00:20:47.120
Are there questions? Are there concerns?
420
00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:48.963
Is there anything?
421
00:20:50.370 --> 00:20:53.840
Nancy, we don't have any questions
422
00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:55.170
in the chat box right now,
423
00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:58.280
but if y'all want to add questions there that's great.
424
00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:01.030
Can you talk about, they can go in through Clever,
425
00:21:01.030 --> 00:21:06.030
but if they're having any trouble logging in, contacting us?
426
00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:09.080
Yes, of course yeah.
427
00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:12.860
So if you have problems, well it's just what Sheri said,
428
00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:16.250
if you have problems logging in at all.
429
00:21:16.250 --> 00:21:20.740
Now, we can't discover your Clever password for you,
430
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:22.490
you know, like we don't have access to that.
431
00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:26.550
I think we have directions for how to do that,
432
00:21:26.550 --> 00:21:28.090
but we don't, yeah.
433
00:21:28.090 --> 00:21:31.080
But if you have problems, just let us know.
434
00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:36.080
And if we can't find out for you how to fix it,
435
00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:39.900
then we'll find somebody who can.
436
00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:43.210
But it's usually a password issue.
437
00:21:43.210 --> 00:21:46.140
We had it set up where if you logged in,
438
00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:48.850
it was first name dot last day,
439
00:21:48.850 --> 00:21:51.403
and then everyone had the same password.
440
00:21:52.370 --> 00:21:55.110
But it wasn't everyone had the same password,
441
00:21:55.110 --> 00:21:59.690
everyone had the same formula for a password.
442
00:21:59.690 --> 00:22:01.040
We don't have that anymore.
443
00:22:01.040 --> 00:22:03.430
That's why if you're a student,
444
00:22:03.430 --> 00:22:06.300
you use Clever 'cause it doesn't need that.
445
00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:07.950
But if you're a parent,
446
00:22:07.950 --> 00:22:09.770
you're going to need your username and password
447
00:22:09.770 --> 00:22:11.740
and then it might be a little bit dicey getting in
448
00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:13.838
just because it's, you know,
449
00:22:13.838 --> 00:22:16.790
one of those number letter garbly gook passwords
450
00:22:16.790 --> 00:22:18.773
that are easy to mistype.
451
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.640
Okay, can you review, nobody's asking this question,
452
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.090
but I just know it's the one we get
453
00:22:27.090 --> 00:22:28.780
over and over and over again.
454
00:22:28.780 --> 00:22:31.230
Can you review real quick when they go in
455
00:22:31.230 --> 00:22:34.230
and request the transcripts?
Yes.
456
00:22:34.230 --> 00:22:38.240
Then how that works and then how they follow up on that
457
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.520
with their college.
458
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:44.520
Okay, so when you go in and request transcripts,
459
00:22:44.810 --> 00:22:46.910
you know the process we went through
460
00:22:46.910 --> 00:22:48.810
in the first few slides,
461
00:22:48.810 --> 00:22:50.980
you're gonna hit, you know, request.
462
00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:53.110
And that is going to put your request
463
00:22:53.110 --> 00:22:57.803
in a list for your school that the registrar can see.
464
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.940
The registrar checks that maybe once or twice a week.
465
00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.840
So it's not gonna be immediately sent.
466
00:23:05.840 --> 00:23:07.990
And so what she or he has to do
467
00:23:07.990 --> 00:23:10.620
is they have to upload a transcript
468
00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:14.513
and then they will send it to your schools.
469
00:23:15.454 --> 00:23:17.790
But keep in mind just because it's sent,
470
00:23:17.790 --> 00:23:20.310
it's not immediately there.
471
00:23:20.310 --> 00:23:22.160
Well, I'll just use Alabama.
472
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.710
It's sent, but it's hanging out I guess in the cloud
473
00:23:25.710 --> 00:23:30.200
until somebody at Alabama goes in virtually
474
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.530
and grabs all the applications sitting there.
475
00:23:33.530 --> 00:23:37.180
So just because it's there, it doesn't mean,
476
00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:41.820
and this is a problem around scholarship deadlines.
477
00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:44.550
Because let me say, and this is digressing a little bit,
478
00:23:44.550 --> 00:23:49.550
but let's say Auburn's scholarship deadline
479
00:23:49.730 --> 00:23:52.670
let's say is December 15th, I'm making that up,
480
00:23:52.670 --> 00:23:53.850
but that's what it was last year.
481
00:23:53.850 --> 00:23:55.533
But let's say that is it.
482
00:23:57.830 --> 00:24:02.040
On December 13th, kids were like, oh my gosh,
483
00:24:02.040 --> 00:24:04.110
I need to send my transcript.
484
00:24:04.110 --> 00:24:05.950
Well, I can send it,
485
00:24:05.950 --> 00:24:08.490
but they're not gonna grab it on the 15th.
486
00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:11.400
You know, you haven't sent it in enough time
487
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.640
for them to evaluate that part of the application.
488
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.730
So don't make that mistake and do things
489
00:24:17.730 --> 00:24:19.580
and request your transcript last minute
490
00:24:19.580 --> 00:24:21.880
thinking it's immediately gonna be sitting
491
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.530
on Sheri's desk.
492
00:24:23.530 --> 00:24:26.160
It's not, it could take up to two weeks
493
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.540
for them to get it, you know?
494
00:24:28.540 --> 00:24:30.700
So that's really important.
495
00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:33.643
Also, there's something else I was going to say about that.
496
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.760
If you have a problem with your college
497
00:24:40.760 --> 00:24:43.440
where you know you've requested
498
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:45.610
and they keep telling you they don't have it.
499
00:24:45.610 --> 00:24:47.250
Let's say you UAH, we don't have it.
500
00:24:47.250 --> 00:24:48.830
And you're like, gosh darn it,
501
00:24:48.830 --> 00:24:51.180
I requested that thing a month ago.
502
00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:54.310
You can reach out to us or your senior counselor
503
00:24:54.310 --> 00:24:56.557
or the registrar at your school and say,
504
00:24:56.557 --> 00:24:59.130
"Hey, UAH is saying they don't have my transcript,
505
00:24:59.130 --> 00:25:00.470
but I requested it."
506
00:25:00.470 --> 00:25:03.460
We can look that up and we can tell you
507
00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:07.540
and you can see it too exactly when it was sent
508
00:25:07.540 --> 00:25:09.420
and there's a routing number.
509
00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:11.490
So then, you know,
510
00:25:11.490 --> 00:25:14.063
Jay is one of our admissions people at UAH.
511
00:25:15.390 --> 00:25:18.610
He could go in or, you know, the random person that got this
512
00:25:18.610 --> 00:25:19.910
and put in the routing number
513
00:25:19.910 --> 00:25:21.900
and find your transcript for you.
514
00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:23.440
I mean we can also send another one,
515
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.180
but if it's already sitting there,
516
00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.810
there's no need to wait extra time
517
00:25:26.810 --> 00:25:28.210
if they can then look it up.
518
00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:32.720
Hopefully I explained that okay.
519
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.780
All right, are there any other questions or concerns?
520
00:25:36.780 --> 00:25:39.360
And if you have those, I mean you're always welcome
521
00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:43.320
to email us, call us, text us.
522
00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:46.650
As Sheri said, I forgot to put a screen in here actually
523
00:25:46.650 --> 00:25:50.220
with our information for how to contact us.
524
00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:55.220
But if you do you have any questions, concerns,
525
00:25:55.728 --> 00:25:59.880
I would say the first point would be to text or email us.
526
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:02.250
But if you text us please, or email us,
527
00:26:02.250 --> 00:26:03.640
please tell us your name
528
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.260
'cause we can't always tell from the email address
529
00:26:05.260 --> 00:26:08.170
and what school you attend so we know.
530
00:26:08.170 --> 00:26:12.880
In addition, calling is fine.
531
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.070
I think you tend to get a quicker reply text or email.
532
00:26:16.070 --> 00:26:18.700
But within the first couple of weeks of school,
533
00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:20.150
after school gets settled in,
534
00:26:20.150 --> 00:26:24.480
we're gonna start setting up conferences individually.
535
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:28.720
So if you need to meet with us, we are doing that as well.
536
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.563
We could do a Zoom or whatever it might be.
537
00:26:34.750 --> 00:26:36.790
Sheri, anything else to add?
538
00:26:36.790 --> 00:26:40.370
No, I am adding, if y'all want to look in a text box,
539
00:26:40.370 --> 00:26:45.370
I am adding our email addresses and our cell phone numbers
540
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.400
and what schools we are working with.
541
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.223
Thank you, I can't believe I forgot that one slide.
542
00:26:53.120 --> 00:26:55.650
There was something else I was gonna say.
543
00:26:55.650 --> 00:26:58.420
Also, let me say this for Naviance.
544
00:26:58.420 --> 00:27:01.370
At the end of the year, when you've made a decision
545
00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:05.690
about which school you've chosen to attend,
546
00:27:05.690 --> 00:27:07.650
there is a place to put that
547
00:27:07.650 --> 00:27:09.840
and we do keep up with that, as well.
548
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:12.360
So that's just an aside.
549
00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.910
We'll remind you of that later.
550
00:27:17.170 --> 00:27:19.610
All right, well, I want to remind everybody that's on here,
551
00:27:19.610 --> 00:27:23.490
please check and make sure your email is in Naviance.
552
00:27:23.490 --> 00:27:24.680
If you talk to your friends,
553
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:27.920
please have them go in and edit their Naviance account
554
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.170
and put their email on their personal page.
555
00:27:30.170 --> 00:27:33.210
'Cause that way that will enable us, one,
556
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:35.680
to email you personally if there's something we need
557
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.620
or something we see on there,
558
00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:40.710
but, two, to send you the emails that we send to seniors
559
00:27:40.710 --> 00:27:44.220
with like current announcements and things of that nature.
560
00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:46.750
And I appreciate y'all joining,
561
00:27:46.750 --> 00:27:48.230
oh Sheri's putting something else in there.
562
00:27:48.230 --> 00:27:50.120
We do have a Facebook page.
563
00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:54.213
It's called HCS District College Counselors.
564
00:27:55.730 --> 00:27:57.920
Everyone should definitely join that.
565
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:59.237
I posted that scholarship on there
566
00:27:59.237 --> 00:28:01.083
that I was just telling you about.
567
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.340
I post information.
568
00:28:03.340 --> 00:28:05.380
Yesterday, I posted information about
569
00:28:05.380 --> 00:28:07.840
two very large virtual college fairs
570
00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:09.390
that are going to be coming up.
571
00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:12.720
There's just all sorts of things
572
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.620
that I will be posting on that Facebook page.
573
00:28:15.620 --> 00:28:17.670
And too that would be another really easy way
574
00:28:17.670 --> 00:28:21.793
for you guys to ask Ms. Krieger and I questions, as well.
575
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.313
All right.
576
00:28:25.370 --> 00:28:26.203
Well, that's it.
577
00:28:26.203 --> 00:28:28.070
I appreciate everybody attending
578
00:28:28.070 --> 00:28:31.440
and we look forward to seeing y'all tomorrow.
579
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:35.910
Tomorrow we have sessions about
580
00:28:35.910 --> 00:28:40.320
scholarships and financial aid, a counselor Q&A,
581
00:28:41.410 --> 00:28:43.790
which is just you can ask us anything,
582
00:28:43.790 --> 00:28:46.110
and then careers as well.
583
00:28:46.110 --> 00:28:47.563
So those should all be great.
584
00:28:48.850 --> 00:28:49.683
Yup, alright.
585
00:28:49.683 --> 00:28:51.230
Thank you.
Yes, thank y'all.
586
00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:52.063
Bye.
