Summary
This campus visit series guides students through their journey of exploring postsecondary education (PSE) options. The first activity focuses on the different facets of college life while helping students and administrators set expectations for students to meet Oklahoma's Academic Standards. The next activity shifts conversations to motivations and potential barriers for PSE options. As students transition into high school the focus moves from awareness to preparation with freshmen exploring accessibility and funding solutions, sophomores addressing acceptance, costs, and financial aid, and juniors preparing to complete PSE applications and applying for Oklahoma’s Promise. Additional activities include a “Game of Life” themed game, mock college applications, and exploring postsecondary options through the online game, “Get a Life.” Each activity is designed to accompany an in-person or virtual visit to a college campus.Resources
