College Counseling Office Programs, Events, and Workshops

The College Counseling Office (CCO) offers a well-developed college counseling program that includes a variety of focused events for students and families.
 
Throughout the fall, the CCO hosts admission representatives from approximately 100 colleges and universities who visit D-E during the school day to inform our seniors about the opportunities at their institutions.  11th Grade students are welcome to attend these college information sessions as long as it does not conflict with a class. The list of visiting colleges is posted on Naviance, in the Senior Lounge, and in the College Counseling wing in Leggett Hall. In addition, D-E is the host site for Bergen County College Information Sessions in the fall and spring which is open to students and families in and surrounding Bergen County.  
 
During the 2019-20 academic year the CCO will administer the PSAT to 11th Grade students in the fall and to 10th Grade students in the spring.  For this year D-E is the test center for the October, December, and June SAT administration test dates.

Developing your college list is a personal decision, one that requires honest self-evaluation. Defining your priorities will make it easier for you to research and identify colleges that best match your personality and goals.
