• What is Naviance?

  Naviance is a college and career readiness platform that helps connect academic achievement to post secondary goals. At AMHS, we use Naviance to track college admissions data that is specific to the Albertus Magnus High School population. Naviance also lets us share information about upcoming college visits, events and scholarship opportunities.

• What can Naviance do?

     
  • Organize applications – Once senior year begins, students will find that Naviance becomes a personal filing system. Using the features under “colleges”, students can organize applications and  track deadlines. Beginning in fall 2009, students may request transcripts electronically through Naviance.
     
  • Research colleges - Perform a college search based on criteria like location, size, student body, and more. Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other.
     
  • View college overlaps – Students often find schools that are a good academic fit, but want  to explore more schools just like it. By clicking on overlaps, students can see up to 10 more schools that are similar.
     
  • Use Career tools – When students are looking for more insight about career options, Naviance can help. Through the Career Interest Profiler (“explore interests”) students can match their interests to specific careers . By clicking on “explore careers” students can learn specific information about many careers, including job description, salaries, outlook, education, and more.
     
  • More Tools - Naviance allows students to take a personality assessment, search for scholarships, participate in school-wide surveys, communicate with their counselor, and create a resume.

• A note about understanding college admissions statistics

It is important to note that when viewing this information in Naviance, the Number of applications sent to a particular college is NOT equal to the sum of the number acceptances plus rejections.
