Virtual College Fairs
Colleges and institutions are learning to navigate the virtual world caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ways they deliver information and connect with prospective students are evolving every day. Campuses are joining together to share resources to host information events (like the Claremont Colleges), using an event hosted by large admissions organizations (like NACAC), partnering with a web-based business (like CollegeWeekLive), and creating their virtual resource page (like Rice University).
We strongly encourage you to find the many free resources available by looking at an institution's website, checking our district's high school counseling departments (some may use Google Classroom), and using the resources below.
Please click on the arrows to the right of each title to access the information for the virtual college fairs.

California Independent/Private Colleges & Universities Campus Week
The Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) Campus Week, September 21 - 24, 2020, is designed to be a forum in which colleges and universities can share information and guide students to resources. Campuses will present a short live session to allow students to learn more about the college or university. Each college and university has created a registration link, which can be found in the full schedule which will open in an excel file.
**Events may be labeled "Transfer Day" but will have First-Year student options.**

National Portfolio Day - ALL ONLINE for 2020!
National Portfolio Day is for students thinking of pursuing a post-secondary education in art or design. Whether coming in at the undergrad or graduate level, students will likely have to include a portfolio of work as part of the application. All NPDA member schools are accredited art or design universities and colleges and the events provide students with a unique opportunity to meet one on one with professional representatives. These reps are there for you to ask questions about their programs, and most importantly, get feedback on how to improve your portfolio so it will be a successful part of your application.
