For Counselors: Summer 2025 Product Updates

Welcome back! We hope you had a restful summer. As we head into the new school year, we’re here to make sure you're up to speed on everything that changed over the break. 

We’ve released several updates over the summer to strengthen forms and improve your experience. Here’s a quick recap of what’s been released and what’s coming soon.

Let's dive in. 

What's New ✨

For Counselors

More Settings for Scheduling Visit Availability

Now, when setting availability for college visits, you can choose the visit type—in person, virtual, or let colleges decide (college choice). Plus, if you're hosting multiple schools at once, you can tag it as a college fair so it’s clear to everyone signing up.

For Counselors & Teachers

Teacher Recommendation Updates

We’ve introduced a new experience for Teacher Recommendations, allowing teachers to provide richer context about students with new evaluation fields and optional student ratings.

For Counselors

Counselor Recommendations got an upgrade! Now, experience a more intuitive layout, optional evaluation fields, the ability to opt out of writing a rec, and more!

School Report Template Updates

We have updated the School Report Template with new and renamed fields, as well as a clearer layout.

For Students & Families

Redesigned Student & Parent Dashboards
