College Visits

Colleges and universitites visit Godwin throughout the year to talk with interested students.  Here is the schedule of college visits for this school year.  If students are interested, they need to fill out the form to get a pass for common study 
 

SchoolLinks

We are excited to introduce SchooLinks, our new college and career readiness platform for students!  SchooLinks is designed to help students stay organized and on track throughout the college application process. This year, seniors will use SchooLinks to request transcripts and letters of recommendation, as well as track application requirements and deadlines. Please note that SchooLinks is not an application portal—students will still submit applications through platforms such as Common App or directly through colleges.

For more information and step-by-step guidance, please review the resources below:
 • SchooLinks Guide: https://bit.ly/SchooLinksGuide
 • SchooLinks Step-by-Step Presentation: https://bit.ly/SchooLinksPresentation
