Naviance - Resource & Registering for College Rep Visits

Naviance Student Features

Naviance Student is a web-based service designed especially for students (and soon for parents) that can help you make decisions about courses, colleges, and careers. Naviance Student also features up-to-date information that’s specific to our school. Naviance allows our school to share information with you about upcoming meetings, news, and events, as well as other web resources for post high school planning. Del Mar's Naviance Student webpage is located at: student.naviance.com/delmar.

With the Naviance Student mobile app, students can access post high school planning on the go! Once installed, the mobile-friendly app will periodically sync with the student’s Family Connection account. The mobile app can be used online and offline; download it now from the App Store. (This app is not available for parent accounts.)
