College Advising

Regent is one of the few schools that is able to offer a small college advisor to student ratio. In all aspects of the College Advising Program, advisors consider the developmental needs of each grade level and student.

Preparation for college is certainly a part of the academic objectives at Regent, but ultimately Regent’s mission is to prepare students to live purposefully and intelligently in the service of God and man. This may include but is not limited to: college or university study, a gap year to travel or work as a missionary or volunteer, active duty military service, licensing or certification for a trade or skill, or direct to the workforce. To assist students and parents as they prayerfully make this decision, we come alongside with resources and support.

College advising starts before high school & continues Throughout the four years

The college advising process begins in the spring of the 8th grade year when students are provided with an overview of high school and information about class selection for the freshman year. Early in the freshman year, students and parents meet with the advisors for pre-college planning that includes Regent’s college advising philosophy, criteria for college admission, college prep timeline, and testing information. Pre-college advising education continues in the same way, with another student and parent meeting, during the sophomore year. At this time, we also review information provided the freshman year, discuss testing (PSAT, Pre-ACT, SAT, and ACT), and help the students understand the college admission process.

Advisors invite students to schedule individual conferences in the spring of their junior year, and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the conference. This meeting includes: a review of the transcript, information about the senior year and class selection, and sharing information and resources to help with college applications. During the senior year, college advisors are available to assist students individually with all aspects of the application process, including creating a resume, college essays, and college applications.

Students are equipped with resources to help guide their decision

Regent utilizes an online college planning portal called SCOIR. On this personal portal, Regent students can search for colleges based on specific needs and interests, organize applications and deadlines in one place, and sign-up for upcoming college representative visits.

The College Advising Office also provides information about local college fairs, extracurricular opportunities, summer enrichment, ACT and SAT test dates, AP exams, scholarships, and FAFSA. A Regent on-campus College Fair is scheduled in the fall with all high school students attending. Throughout the year, college representatives are invited to campus for small group meetings with students. Requests for transcripts for insurance, forms for learner’s permits, and transcripts for REAL ID are also handled by the College Advising Office.
