​Naviance is a comprehensive K-12 college and career readiness solution that helps Spring Branch ISD and Stratford High School align student strengths and interests to post-secondary goals.

You'll complete many counselor assigned tasks on Naviance such as updating resumes, performing college match searches, finding scholarships and requesting recommendation letters.  Below are a few functions found in Naviance:​

COLLEGE PREPARATION
Matches students to colleges based on students’ interests and goals, and compares admissions rates at students’ top college choices. Naviance helps students find their best-fit higher education institution.
​
ELECTRONIC TRANSCRIPTS
Counselors can spend less time on paperwork and more time on people work with Naviance eDocs. Naviance allows counselors and advisors to securely send student application-related forms, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, school profiles and more, electronically to more than 2,000 colleges and universities.

SELF-DISCOVERY
Self-discovery helps students develop confidence to lay the foundation for their life today, and their future.  Career and interest assessments uncover strengths and unique skills, letting students see their own potential.  StrengthsExplorer®Gallup research has shown that students succeed when they focus on what they do best rather than trying to improve on weaknesses. ​

College Visits
In Naviance, you can request to have a virtual appointment for the 2020-2021 school year with a scheduled institution.  Be sure to look at the upcoming virtual meetings an request access to the meeting.  If you have any questions, please see our post-secondary counselor.
