College & Career Center (CCC) Overview

We are continuing our online workshops which can be so helpful to your students as they try to navigate the college process and what classes they will start with. Our Course Selection Workshop (May 4th) is really a guide to understanding the pathways we provide to completion/transfer, provided by our Counseling faculty. Our Course Registration Workshop is learning how to navigate the registration process, read & understand the class schedule. See all of our online workshops here: outreach.missioncollege.edu

Mission College is hosting a Virtual Open House Thursday, May 13^th – Saturday, May 15^th for prospective students and families! Attendees will be able to connect directly with faculty and staff from some of our most popular academic departments and support programs. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a better sense of what the Mission College community is all about as we transition back to in-person classes! Learn more about Mission’s Open House

We have been very actively monitoring college admissions chat rooms and forums and will bring the most up-to-date information to you as we collect it - but please be reassured that the whole country is working together to ensure that our high-schoolers will have the same chance at a great education as everyone else in the past.  Although a lot of things are evolving on a daily (hourly?) basis, it is all done in a very mindful and positive fashion, and plans are coming together.

The College and Career Center, located in Room 28, provides resources for students and parents in their explorations of post-high school opportunities. We are staffed by one full-time CUHSD employee - Mrs Nathalie Goricanec, our College and Career Specialist, and many parent volunteers and are open every day from 8:30am until 3 or 4pm (hours vary). Our volunteers assist students in locating information regarding in- and out-of-state colleges and universities, in finding SAT and ACT dates and registration information, in discovering scholarship and financial aid opportunities, and by answering questions about the college preparation and application processes. We have dozens of books available for check out including current SAT study guides and popular college guidebooks like the Insider's Guide to the Colleges, the Fiske Guide and the 379 Best Colleges among many others. We also provide resources for students who may be looking at vocational and job opportunities after high school. 

We encourage students of all grade levels and their parents to take advantage of our offerings.
