What is the Counselor Center?

The Counselor Center is an easy to use tool that will help you provide the best possible service to your college-bound students. Comprehensive communication, management, and reporting tools will empower you to efficiently track and guide your students as they progress through career exploration, college selection, financial aid, and admission applications.

The Counselor Center is a part of Mentor®, and thus, already paid for. There is no cost to you or your school to use this product.

• Connect with your Students

  Offer your students personal attention with efficient communication tools such as e-mail, a mini counselor website, or an online chat event. Communicate with your students individually or in targeted groups. Send automatic notices and reminders to your students to keep them on track.

• Organize your Time and Data

  Manage your students by grade level or other profile elements. Combine your calendar of events with that of your students and their intended colleges. Take advantage of automated tools to save you valuable time and effort.

• Track your Students' Progress

  Stay up to date with your students as they update their profile and go through the pre-college process. Generate reports to see where your students are going; learn what they need so that you can focus your efforts.

Mentor Systems and the Counselor Center

The Counselor Center allows you to leverage the resources of Xap's Mentor® Systems, and access the Mentor portfolios for the students you counsel online. The portfolio contains the student's personal list of colleges that he/she is interested in attending - with access to specific information about each school; the status of admission applications - both submitted and in progress; the student's financial-aid needs, career interests, intended major, and other information that you can monitor to help your students meet the entrance requirements to the college of their choice.

Xap Transcript Exchange™

The Xap Transcript Exchange™ is designed to optimize the application process to Kentucky universities and colleges for all participants - students, high schools, colleges and universities. High schools submit electronic transcripts to the Xap Transcript Exchange™; students can then request that their transcripts are sent to colleges and universities participating in the exchange program. In addition, the transcript can be combined with the student's web-based application for admission (completed at GoHigherKY). This digital application package is sent to the appropriate colleges and/or universities and is available to them within minutes of the student clicking the "submit" button. Using the Xap Transcript Exchange™, the universities and colleges can review and process the digital applications and transcripts much more efficiently than the paper versions, thus providing admission eligibility advice to students and families in a very timely fashion.
