Counseling Corner: Addison Trail Guidance Department offers COD Connection Series to help seniors

The Addison Trail Guidance Department is partnering with College of DuPage (COD) to provide a COD Connection Series for students.

This series will help streamline the admission process for high school seniors who will attend COD in the fall. COD Admissions Representative Rio Almaria comes to Addison Trail each month to meet with students in a small-group setting. Almaria provides an overview of what COD has to offer, assistance with the admission application and information about financial aid and other resources available to students.

In March, the COD testing staff will come to Addison Trail to administer the placement exams. In April, the staff from COD’s advising department will meet with students individually to assist them with choosing classes for fall. About 75 seniors are taking advantage of the COD Connection Series, and those who are interested in joining the program should contact their counselor.
