Schoolcraft College Night provides an opportunity for high school students and their parents to meet with representatives from over 80 colleges and universities—large/small, urban/suburban, public/private, in-state/out-of-state, etc. in order to explore college options. This community service event provides a unique experience for high school & Schoolcraft students intending to transfer to complete a bachelors degree. The open house format allows participants to drop in at any time during the event.

The Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers’ (MACRAO) is offering an optional online registration process that streamlines the data collection process for sanctioned events—including Schoolcraft College Night 2018.

Some tips for the Common Application, SENDedu and Letters of Recommendation
- If applying to schools via Common App or SENDedu, students must "invite" their counselor to view the application no later than OCTOBER 1st IF the November 1st deadline is to be met. Students- do not wait to invite your counselor and/or teacher. The RECOMMENDER section is where you invite your counselor and/or teacher. Please make sure that you are using the CORRECT email address.
- Letters of Recommendation: Most applications do not require a letter of recommendation, however, if you are requesting one- please follow these guidelines: Make sure the FERPA box is checked on your Common Application to ensure the integrity of your recommendation. Be advised that a letter of recommendation can take up to 5 weeks to complete, so don't wait until the last minute! Provide your recommender with the Letter of Recommendation Assistant PRIOR to asking for the letter. Be courteous and plan ahead.
