Your college's real dates
Orientation, move-in, tuition, financial aid, registration and add/drop, taken from your school's official pages with links you can check.
For high school seniors, counselors and transfer students
Start college already knowing how your semester works
The hard part of freshman year isn't the coursework — it's that no one hands you a schedule anymore. Set your college up before move-in and your orientation, aid deadlines, classes and study time are waiting for you on day one.

Instead of guessing, you get a daily suggestion of what to study, how, and for how long.
The independent-living checklist
Dorm supplies, laundry, forms, appointments — the small things that trip up new students.

Questions people ask
What should a high school senior do before starting college?
Get the dates in one place first: orientation, move-in, tuition and aid deadlines, class registration and add/drop. CollegeOS pulls those from your college's official pages so you aren't hunting through emails in August.
How is college harder to keep track of than high school?
Nobody hands you a daily schedule. Each class has its own syllabus, deadlines are months out, and the admin is yours to remember. CollegeOS turns all of it into one day-by-day list.
When should I start using it?
As soon as you've committed to a school. Add your college, get its registrar and aid dates, then upload your schedule when registration opens.
Can a school counselor set this up with students?
Yes. Counselors often walk seniors through adding their college and its key dates during spring transition sessions; students keep the account into freshman year.
What if I'm transferring or already partway through?
You can import your completed terms and credits so your record carries over, then set up the current semester.
