College planning for parents and teens

You open the family account and invite your teen. They plan and log; you see the plan, the GPA and what’s coming, without reading their diary.

Start your family plan

What you see, and what stays with your teen

Each person sees what their role allows. It isn’t a setting anyone can switch on by mistake.

You see

  • The roadmap and what’s due next
  • The course plan, GPA and graduation checks
  • The confirmed record, hours and recommendations
  • Colleges, deadlines and net price for your income
  • One email every Monday

Stays with your teen unless they share

  • Their weekly log in their own words
  • Voice notes
  • Essay drafts
  • Proof files
  • Personal to-dos

One email every Monday

What your teen got done, what’s coming up, and one thing to talk about at dinner, in your own language.

Plan a direction together

Pick an interest your teen has. Direction suggests courses, activities and colleges from their record and public data, and saves it as your suggestion. Your teen decides.
