SHA portal

Throughout the fall, admissions representatives from many colleges and universities will visit SHA during lunch. Students are notified by email and announcements of these visits. This is an excellent way to talk directly with a college admissions representative who, in many cases, will actually be reading your application.

The annual SHA/ND College Fair takes place in the fall each year with over 100 colleges/universities in attendance.

Your transcript is a record of your final grades to date (9-11) plus a list of your senior courses. We do not send your scores from standardized tests. You must request these from College Board or ACT.

You should ask the faculty member first if they will write a letter of recommendation for you. If they agree, you should complete the Faculty Recommendation Information Sheet available in Guidance, and give it to the faculty member. Faculty will submit letters directly to the Guidance Office. It is very important that you notify faculty as to due dates for letters of recommendation; make your requests early! Please email teachers through the Naviance Family Connection to request a letter of recommendation.

We encourage students to include a resume when applying to college. You can find a sample resume in your College Planning Guide or create it on Naviance.

Students are responsible for checking on all deadlines. Please allow 10 school days for transcript request processing.

Information about financial aid can be found on the following websites - FAFSA, CSS Profile, finaid.org and each college's individual website in their financial aid section.  

Guidance releases scholarship information as it becomes available directly to students via their Naviance account. Please check your hometown newspaper for scholarship opportunities available for residents of your hometown.

Transcripts for Scholarship Applications
All scholarship applications that require a transcript or letter of recommendation must be submitted to Guidance one week in advance of the deadline.
