You can now download all survey responses at once, directly from Scoir. Perfect for brag sheets for your rising seniors!

Redesigned College Profiles, Preferences, Browse Paths, Dashboard, and the Student Mobile App

Students now have even more useful, helpful tools at their fingertips with the redesigned Dashboard experience! The new For You section, paired with more detailed college profiles, provides students with a more personalized search & discovery experience!

More inclusive My Profile

Students have the option to indicate their gender and pronouns on their My Profile. Students are in control of sharing this information; if provided, we'll use this information to properly address students on the platform. We care about students' needs and want student profiles to be representative of their journeys.

Within the Scoir Student Mobile App and desktop, students can select their Top 3 Choices for colleges within their My Colleges list. This allows students to further organize and customize their college search.

Scheduled Email

Work smarter by saving drafts, scheduling your emails in advance, and even setting reminders of planned emails.
Advanced Email

Scoir Library & Subscriptions

Subscribe to 6 categories of pre-written emails, including College Discovery and Standardized Tests, to engage students.
Enabled District Communication

Manage communication across all of the schools in your district by enabling District Communication.

Expanded Student Outcomes & Plans (featuring non-collegiate outcomes and two new reports, Student Outcomes & Plans and Class Profiles)

Record and report on student outcomes & post-high school plans, including non-collegiate outcomes.

Provided greater visibility with the YouScience Counselor Integration

You can view high-level information regarding your students' YouScience progress directly from your dashboard.

Reimagined college applications via Apply with Scoir

The College Admissions Network expanded to simplify the process of applying to college. Now, students can focus on what matters most: Discovering colleges that best fit their academic, social, and financial needs.

We're looking forward to this new school year ahead, and continuing to build Scoir alongside our incredible counseling community and student supporters!
