College Applications

When starting the process of applying for colleges, students should first visit the college websites directly to determine what website should be used to complete college applications.  Some colleges will require students to complete the applications on their website, while some colleges utilize outside application sites, such as GAFutures (in state schools only), Common Application, My Coalition, and SendEdu.  The following links are provided for students to visit these websites directly.
