Calling ALL 9th & 10th graders! It is ICAP season!
Individual Career Academic Plan
Please schedule your ICAP appointment for the best selection of dates and times. Appointments open on January 23 on a first come first serve basis. This is your opportunity to meet one-on-one with your advisor to collaborate on your degree & career goals. Meetings are approximately 45 minutes long. Parents are not required, but strongly encouraged, to attend. Plan ahead to make the most of this vital planning time. An additional email will be sent with sign up instructions.
Things to consider when scheduling your appointment:
Pick a time that will not conflict with a core subject area course. (Free periods or electives, if necessary). Do not schedule during a college course.
How can you (the student) make the most of this time with your advisor? Bring your questions, ideas and come with a plan. Try a career interest survey and bring the results with you. This is YOUR future...Lead it!
