College Advisement
The College Advising Office works to ensure a comprehensive college-attending culture for all Trinity students and provides a full range of college admission information and activities. We work closely with students to encourage them to discover their interests, explore possibilities, and take ownership of their path to college. Ultimately, we seek to support students in their effort to identify and enroll in the college that is the best fit for them, acting as a resource for families at every stage of the college search and application process.
The academic program at Trinity provides students with a strong base for selective college admission. The key to successful college acceptance is ample preparation. Therefore, students follow a College Admission timeline, beginning in 9th grade, to specifically maximize their chances for college admission.
College Visits
Many colleges visit us! We have representatives from many universities come to us during our lunch hour to share what they have to offer with our students.
We also have a college fair that happens on our campus annually where multiple colleges come to share their opportunities.
We encourage our students to attend college fairs locally and to visit colleges on their own. Family vacations out of town and out of state are great opportunities to check out colleges in those places you're already visiting. It's nice to see how large and small campuses compare, tour the dorms and facilities, talk to the staff, faculty, students and coaches. These are things that can't be experienced on a website or virtual tour. Consider things like weather, living arrangements, dining options, extracurricular opportunities, travel expenses if it's a long distance from home, and whether it's important to attend a Christian college or if a secular college might be preferred.
