CollegeOSGet started

For high school seniors, counselors and transfer students

High school gives you structure. College gives you the pieces.

In high school, the schedule, the reminders and the check-ins mostly come to you. In college, classes, Canvas, registration, aid, housing and advising each live in their own place, and you're the one expected to put them together. CollegeOS helps you build your first full picture of college, and a system you can carry in with you.

Questions people ask

What should a high school senior do before starting college?

Get the dates in one place first: orientation, move-in, tuition and aid deadlines, class registration and add/drop. CollegeOS pulls those from your college's official pages so you aren't hunting through emails in August.

How is college harder to keep track of than high school?

Nobody hands you a daily schedule. Each class has its own syllabus, deadlines are spread across the term, and school admin is yours to track. CollegeOS helps you turn all of it into one plan you can follow.

When should I start using it?

As soon as you've committed to a school. Add your college, get its registrar and aid dates, then upload your schedule when registration opens.

Can a school counselor set this up with students?

Yes. Counselors often walk seniors through adding their college and its key dates during spring transition sessions, and students keep the account into freshman year.

What if I'm transferring or already partway through?

You can import your completed terms and credits so your record carries over, then set up the current semester.
