ACAC Resources
The American College Application Campaign® team is available to offer technical assistance and trainings to help make your program a success. If you are a new State Coordinator, please contact our staff so we can provide you with a brief overview of the initiative, review your state campaign goals, and walk you through the resources available to assist with the planning and implementation of your state’s program.
The following resources are intended to assist State and Host Site Coordinators as they plan and implement the Campaign in their state or local community. Items have been posted to this web page and the State Coordinator SharePoint. If you are a State Coordinator and do not have access to the ACAC Network SharePoint, please contact one of our team members.
Site Coordinator Materials
There are a variety of activities that high school site coordinators can do prior to, during, and after the school’s College Application event. The Site Coordinator Materials provide an overview of the Campaign at the school-level. Additionally, you will find a Site Coordinator Checklist and Timeline which brings the planning and execution process together. State Coordinators should review, edit, and customize the Site Coordinator Materials to reflect their state’s implementation of the Campaign. Once edited, the resources should be sent to Site Coordinators at participating high schools and posted to the state’s Campaign website.
