Florida College Decision Day Initiative- Register Your School Now!


#CollegeDecisionDay is May 1st
Register your school NOW!

Host an event that celebrates your
high school seniors' postsecondary plans

What is College Decision Day?
College Decision Day (also known as College Signing Day) is an initiative to recognize and celebrate high school seniors for their postsecondary plans and to encourage younger students and their families to prepare early for college. College Decision Day is held annually on or around May 1 and is designed to coincide with the date that most seniors must inform a college of their plans to enroll. Schools celebrate this step in a variety of ways: pep rallies, adorning college gear, inviting guest speakers, interviewing students on their accomplishments and the list goes on.

This is the first statewide initiative for College Decision Day in Florida. Let’s make this day great by building excitement and recognizing Florida students for their accomplishments.
 
Use #CollegeDecisionDay on May 1 to celebrate your students on social media!

Why Participate?
  • To celebrate all students for their postsecondary plans
  • To encourage and remind students that it’s time to make a decision
  • To support the best match and fit for each student
  • To influence younger students as they prepare for college
  • To support a college-going culture and wrap up the school year with a celebration
Get started NOW!
When you register to hold a College Decision Day event, Florida College Access Network will recognize and publicly congratulate your school--and most of all, your students’ achievements!
