College Visitations
one of the best ways to assist you in your college decision is by visiting the campus.  Most schools have special days designed just for this purpose.  Check with the admissions office of the schools you are considering for the dates and times of the college visitation days.
 






Destination College strives to ensure all students are prepared to succeed in higher education. Collin County Community College, area school districts, businesses and service providers have partnered to increase access to information and educational opportunities for improved college readiness. Destination College resources will help students and their families become financially, academically and intellectually prepared for post-secondary education. Working collaboratively, we can meet the Texas goal of increased participation and success in higher education.
