College Sponsored Campus Tours for Counselors
College Sponsored Campus Tours for Counselors’ Guide: http://www.plan4if.cslf.org/campustours.pdf
The College Sponsored Campus Tours for Counselor’s guide is published with the hope that counselors will take advantage of the opportunities offered by colleges for campus visits. While most of the tours only require that counselors arrange their own transportation to the host site at their own expense, a few do require payment of a non-refundable registration fee. A large number of tours are offered at no cost to counselors with expenses covered by the host college or colleges.
