Do colleges know what Naviance is used for?

I've been using Naviance in my college search process. Do colleges know students are using it for things like college lists and application tracking, or is it just a tool for us?

Yes, colleges are generally aware of Naviance and its uses. This platform is widely recognized in the world of higher education. It's routinely used by high school counselors to assist students in the college search and application process. This includes creating and managing college lists, tracking applications, and even submitting school documentation to colleges such as transcripts and letters of recommendation.

However, individual colleges don't have access to individual student accounts. Your Naviance usage and specific activity (like your college list or the frequency of your login) aren't shared with colleges. This information is primarily for the student and their high school counselor to facilitate a more efficient college application process.

So, while colleges understand the function of Naviance, they won't be tracking your activity or have insight into your college list on the platform. It's a tool mainly for you and your counselor to streamline and manage your college search and application processes.
