Naviance Student Overview
Naviance Student is a web-based tool designed especially for students to help make decisions about colleges and careers. Students will use Naviance Student to research college and career options, as it also provides up-to-date information that is specific to our school. This program allows us to share information with parents and students about upcoming college visits, enrichment programs, scholarships, meetings, news, and events, as well as other web resources for college and career information.
If a parent is having difficulty signing in to Naviance, please contact the College and Career Advisor (eharding@srvusd.net) for a reset. Students may reset their own passwords by clicking on "Reset Password" on the left side of the main student portal entry page.
LOGGING INTO NAVIANCE!
Students: All students access their Naviance account by clicking on the 'Naviance (Student Login)' link on the SRVHS home page. This will take you to your personal SRVUSD portal. Once at the portal, look for the "Naviance" tile and click on it to be logged directly into your Naviance account.
Parents: Your login instructions have remained the same, but you will use the link on the SRVHS website called 'Naviance (Parent Login)' and follow the instructions on the parent portal for SRVHS. If you cannot login and you know you have logged in before, please select the "forgot your password" link and follow the instructions you receive in your associated email.
Freshman parents will receive Naviance username and password information via your Infinite Campus email contact info during the fall or winter. This information will be sent after freshman presentations have been completed. *Note* Freshman class presentations are completed in two groups; one in the fall and the second in the winter.
If after following these guidelines, you are still having issues logging in, please reach out to your student's counselor or the College and Career Center for assistance: (eharding@srvusd.net)
Within Naviance, students will find access to the following:
Colleges: College research tools, specific college data for all colleges/universities, scattergrams with SRVHS data points can also be found here. Once a student is a sophomore, their 10-12 (A-G) GPA will be populated in their Naviance Student account. In addition, students can add their ACT/SAT scores on the "my stuff" page. These data points allow students to easily track their GPA/scores in relation to college data presented (please note: colleges do not see this information).
Scholarship information can also be found on the 'Colleges' tab for both local and national scholarships, that we have been made aware of. Many of these are local organizations looking to provide SRVHS students with scholarships.
Seniors will see additional features which include tools for requesting teacher/counselor letters of recommendations, and transcripts in the 'colleges I'm applying to' section. On the home page of 'Naviance Student', seniors will also see a "Document Resources" link where they can access information their counselors need in order to write letters of recommendation. The documents in this link has been updated for fall 2022 application cycle (class of 2023).
Careers: Students can access a variety of career exploration tools including interest surveys, and Occupational Handbook resources for career description/guidance, as well as Roadtrip Nation which features over 3,500 video interviews from industry leaders.
About Me: Students can access additional career and personal exploration tools in addition to finding a RESUME builder. We encourage students to begin using the resume builder as early as freshman year. This is a feature that allows them to keep track of awards, recognition, employment, and extracurricular activities for their time here at SRVHS. Many students will need to create an 'activities resume' when applying to college their senior year. It is helpful if they have been gathering this information along the way!
PARENTS: Please note: you have your own log in credentials (and your student has his/hers). If you have more than one student at SRV, you should be able to view each student's portal from your same login. Please let us know the names/grades of all of your SRVHS students when you contact us (for troubleshooting) so that we can ensure you have access to view each account.
A current SRVHS 4 year Plan for students using Naviance is under construction. Freshmen students are introduced to the Naviance tool in their health classes and parents of freshmen are invited to register for their access via an email letter that typically goes out during the winter.
