Organize the college process with Naviance: a high level overview
Naviance offers rich functionality beyond the ability to explore information about colleges--which is tremendously useful all on its own. Naviance also helps you manage the college application process. These features become more visible as you start to add colleges to your "lists".

**In addition to providing guidance for the all parts of the road to college, York's College & Career Counseling Center (CCRC) teaches juniors and seniors how to use Naviance for the college process at York. Visit the supporting links included on the Junior Programs and Senior Programs pages, which you'll find on the left navigation bar of the CCRC site.** |
