SCOIR

The student page in SCOIR consists of three areas related to the college search: My Profile, College Search and My Colleges. As they explore each area, students will begin to develop their college profile and create a list of schools that match their interests and college goals.

My Profile

After a student logs into SCOIR, they will arrive at the My Profile page. This is also known as the landing page. This is where students will find all of their personal information. In addition to the academic stats, standardized test scores, and parent information found in the My Profile section, SCOIR gives students the ability to upload web links, social media posts (that are college relevant), and important documents (transcripts, resumes, graded assignments, etc.) into their My Drive portal. Students can also share activities they are involved in and achievements they are proud of in this section.

College Search

SCOIR’s College Search engine empowers students to find colleges that best meet their individual needs and preferences. Students can search for schools using criteria including: Name, Personal Interest & Activities, Academic, Undergraduate Degrees, Location, Number of Undergrads, Acceptance Rate, School Type, Campus Setting, ROTC Programs, and Application type.

My Colleges

Once a list of colleges is created, students can choose to “follow” a school so that it remains on their My Colleges prospective college list. Students can save and/or share the schools they’re following with other stakeholders (parents/guardians or college counselors) throughout the college process. SCOIR provides comprehensive information and analysis about each college on a student's college list. The in-depth information is found in three areas: Overview, which includes many of the nuts and bolts and basic information about the school, The Wall, which is a visual representation of the school through photos and social media content, and Analysis, where students can compare their academic background to students who have previously applied. 

Parents/guardians are an integral part of the college search process. They can assist their student in discovering schools that may be of interest to them by suggesting schools to "follow" in SCOIR; students may decide whether or not to "accept” these suggestions. SCOIR also provides a comprehensive net price calculator to assist families in seeing the cost of attendance at each school a student is "following."

The parent page in SCOIR consists of three areas: College, College Search, and Profile.

College

Here families will find the Net Price Calculator (NPC) tool. The more detailed financial information a family can provide, the more accurate the information about the cost of attendance at each school. Families only need to fill out the NPC once; the information is stored and applied to each school in the student’s Following, Applying, and Applied list.

College Search

Parents/guardians have full access to college search criteria. Parents can complete their own college search, independent of their student. If a student has saved their last college search, parents have the ability to see the schools on the list.

Profile

This is where parents/guardians will find all of the personal, academic, and extracurricular activities their student has listed in their SCOIR account. Parents can also view any documents that their student has uploaded into My Drive.
