College & DPS Visits

College Visit (VST)

*ASK EACH COLLEGE FOR A VERIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE LETTER: 

Documentation from the institute of higher learning, with the letterhead, a signature of the official from the institute, contact information, & specifying the students name with dates of visits(s) will excuse a college visit. 

This OFFICAL document is REQUIRED & no email pre-confirmation notes for a planned visit will be accepted in it's place or ahead of time. 

Please note: 

* A maximum of two (2) days during the junior and senior year may be taken to visit an institution of higher education accredited by a generally recognized accrediting organization to determine the student’s interest in attending the institution. Travel days are not included in the 2 days allowed to be excused, only the exact tour/visit day(s) on the documentation provided by the college.

*IF more than two days of college visits are planned, they must be pre-approved by administration PRIOR to the absence being potentially excused. Please contact your assistant principal with questions, the attendance office cannot approve this. Travel days are not included.

*If you forget to get a verification letter, please reach out to the campus visited and ask for one to be sent to you via email. 

*College auditions do count as "college visits", but again only 2 days per year are allowed for this code. If you are a fine arts major please contact your FAA Asst. Principal if more dates are required for auditions to see if they can be pre-approved (theater majors etc. )
