Learning everything about a college allows students to gain valuable insights into their future and can greatly influence their future. We understand how important visiting a college campus is in the decision-making process. Juniors and seniors are offered the opportunity to go on college campus visits and attend college-representative-led presentations hosted on Oakside Prep's campus.

Juniors and seniors are given two excused absences each academic year to visit a college or university of their choice. To receive the excused absence, students must complete the proper forms with the school's front office two weeks before their scheduled visit. 

Juniors and seniors who wish to attend college presentations here at Oakside Prep should sign up in the College Counseling team’s office no later than the Friday before the scheduled presentation.

Official high school transcripts can be ordered securely through Parchment.
