Re:  2021 Counselor Directory, College Fair Details, Online Form, COVID-19 Updates, etc.
​
On behalf of the Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council (MPSEOC), we want to extend our thanks to all Montana counselors for all your incredible work in helping students and education through this transitional time of COVID-19.  Please know we are here to help you in any way we can.  We are committed to help in any way we can.  Thank you for all you do.

It is the time of year where we finalize your details for our fall events.  With COVID-19, we want you to know that we are committed to offering a hybrid of options our fall events for the September College Fairs, Counselor Update, Guide Book To Higher Education, and more.  As we all are unsure of what fall will bring, we are planning for multiple options.  Therefore, we are asking you to confirm your details for the fall fairs in the event that we are able to still host in-person events.  Please know that safety is a priority to us in this.  We are working on virtual & alternative programming for these events if in-person is restricted.  Please keep an eye out for updates throughout the summer while we will be monitoring this situation very closely.  Thank you for your understanding and team efforts in this, as we all learn together.  Please share any questions, concerns, thoughts you may have.  We will keep in contact over the summer and early fall with final details. 

Please take a few moments to confirm the following details in order to ensure quality and cost-effectiveness for these events.  We ask that you act on the following items on or before June 4, 2021.  Thank you so much for all of your team help and efforts to help students together!

steps to take to prepare for fall

step 1  |  check your listing in the Counselor directory

Verify that the Contact Information for You & Your School Is Correct
We ask you to please verify your high school name, counselor name, mailing address, phone, e-mail, website, etc.  We will be publishing this information this coming fall 2021, so we want to make sure we have your information correct.  Other counselors, students, parents, college representatives, and many agencies use this directory throughout the year, so please help us keep it updated for you.  Please just let us know if you have questions or need additional help.  
​Thank you! 

step 2  |  check the college fair your High SChool is tentatively scheduled to attend

Check the College Fair Location & Date for which your school has been tentatively assigned in September.  If you wish to attend another college fair, please indicate as such on the online form in Step 3.  Please note that the time listed is the time duration for the entire fair.  By the middle of August 2021, we will share a final schedule of events.
*These live, in-person events are pending COVID-19 Developments.  We will keep you posted of updates throughout the summer and early fall.  Thank you!

step 3  |  SUBMIT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL final online FORM

Important FINAL Step! 
​In this ionline form, you will be able to confirm your fair location, make a change to your fair location, and confirm the number of registration promotion cards you need for your students.  This is a huge help and lets us know what you need for these fall events.  Thank you!
