Starting college is more than just choosing classes and buying dorm decor—it’s a life shift. Our Transition Planning service is designed to help students (and their families) thoughtfully prepare for the emotional, academic, logistical, and social changes that come with beginning college.
We provide a structured, yet personalized approach that includes:
- Key pre-semester tasks and timelines (housing, health forms, orientation prep, etc.)
- Packing and shopping checklists that reflect real student needs
- Guidance for building independence and self-advocacy skills
- Family discussions to align on expectations, communication, and boundaries
- First-year academic planning: understanding course schedules, advising, and credit loads
- Social and emotional readiness topics like homesickness, roommate dynamics, and campus engagement
Whether you’re feeling excited, anxious, or both, our Transition Planning process ensures nothing important falls through the cracks—and helps students feel confident, informed, and ready to step into their next chapter.
