Junior-Senior SCOIR-MyACT Meeting

Next Tuesday, January 25th, 2022, all juniors and seniors will participate in an orientation to SCOIR (pronounced SCORE).  Students should watch for information from Dr. Shaw on what to expect and the benefits of SCOIR.

Juniors will also register for their MyACT accounts.  All juniors must have a MyACT account before the junior ACT.  Both of these activities are required for juniors and seniors.  Rosters with room locations will be posted on the 3rd floor.

Email Dr. Shaw if you have questions about SCOIR and Dr. Campbell if you have questions about MyACT accounts.

Junior/ Senior Schedule and Information for Tuesday, January 25

We are pleased to announce that University School is introducing a new college planning system called Scoir. We have chosen Scoir to help you navigate the college selection and application process because it is simply the best system available for discovering colleges that match your personal as well as academic interests.

You will soon receive an email invitation from Scoir or a unique URL from your counselor with a link to register your account. Once you create your account, you can immediately begin using Scoir to search for and start building a list of colleges that interest you. You will be required to use Scoir to request letters of recommendation from faculty and to request the sending of academic transcripts. Your parents/guardians will also have access to Scoir to assist you in your college selection and to gain more insight about the cost of attendance at different colleges.  The counseling office will be using Scoir to communicate with you during your college planning process and to electronically deliver your application materials to colleges.

SCOIR also has an integrated Career Assessment that Juniors and Seniors will be required to take on on January 19.For Juniors it will be the first step toward your college application process. For Seniors it will help you confirm your career interests or explore different ideas for college majors. 

Many features of SCOIR are currently turned off, but they will become available on a rolling basis. Seniors will still need request transcripts on the first page of the school website at www.usbucs.com.  Other documents can be requested directly from Dr. Shaw. Juniors will receive additional training sessions later this year and early next year.
