ACAC Resources
The following resources are intended to assist Host Site Coordinators as they plan and implement college application completion events in their local community and high school.
If you are a State Coordinator, additional resources are available to you on the State Coordinator SharePoint. Don’t have access to the ACAC Network SharePoint? Please contact one of our team members. The American College Application Campaign® team is available to offer technical assistance and trainings to help make your program a success. If you are a new State Coordinator, please contact our staff so we can provide you with a brief overview of the initiative, review your state campaign goals, and walk you through the resources available to assist with the planning and implementation of your state’s program.
College Application Event Planning
The following resources are intended to guide high schools hosting a college application completion event from the early planning stage to post-event stage. A host site coordinator – typically a school counselor, college advisor or educator in the school – is encouraged to use the resources that fit your capacity and school needs. Many state college application campaigns also have host site resources specific to your state.
