As you begin your college and career search, you might find yourself struggling to find out where you should start or which direction to take. To help you with this process, BHSD228 offers a program called Naviance that will assist you in your college and career search. 

Naviance is a program software specifically designed for students and parents used to aid in making decisions in college and career plans.

Naviance allows you to plan and advise your process- build your resume, manage timelines and deadlines, as well as complete online surveys.  This program also helps one to research colleges- compare GPAs, standardized tests, and other statistical information that can be compared to the average admitted students. 

Naviance is good for so many things.  It even helps with admissions and college trips- it has a place where students can actually sign up for college visits and field trips offered by the Bremen District to aid them in their career search.

Naviance also informs you about upcoming events including financial aid, scholarships, web resources, SAT/ACT test prep, etc. 

Accessing Naviance is easy.  The icon is already accessible on each BHS student’s Ipad and ready for use.  There is a single sign-on process when using the school ipad.  Students can also access Naviance when not using a single sign-on process through the icon on the Bremen Ipad.  To access Naviance on a device other than the student tablet, students must follow a step-by-step process. 

How to access Naviance:

  1. (https://student.naviance.com/bremenhs)
  2. LOGIN WITH CLEVER – on bottom right 
  3. Type in the name of school
  4. Username is: school id
  5. Password is: DOB WITHOUT 0’s (DOB is March 29, 2000, then 3/10/2000)
