Juniors and Seniors - TWO SCHOOL DAYS
 
Students are allowed 2 school days annually of excused absences for attending college visits on a regular school day. Make sure you receive a letter on the college or university letterhead stating you were there for a visit, dated (not on a weekend date) and a signature. You will need to submit this documentation for your excused absence. This can usually be obtained from the admissions office of the college/university that you visit.
 
Visit the website of the college you are interested in attending.
