SACAC is compiling virtual resources on this page for the benefit of students, parents, caregivers, and college admissions professionals. Many of these resources have been shared within social media platforms, limiting access to many people who need this information. We will continue to update this page as new resources become available. We encourage members to share this page within their professional networks, school communities, and beyond!
The resources we share are maintained by others, so please contact the content owners directly with questions or concerns about information they provide. If you have a suggestion for a resource to include, please contact communications@sacac.org, and SACAC will consider it.
