College / Career Prep Websites

We RECOMMEND that all students familiarize themselves with the following 3 sites:

1.Virtual Counselor can be accessed by your parents through a link at www.browardschools.com. Students have to access virtual counselor for the first time on a school-based computer and subsequently can access it through their home computer.

2.www.FACTS.org - for upper division University degree pre-requisites

3.www.browardschools.com – BRACE link is especially helpful; go to departments, then BRACE (Broward Advisors for Continuing Education)
