- Counselor Site — Provides counselors with tools to coach their students on career planning, college selection, admissions, and financial aid.
- Guide to Admissions for Counselors — This link will take you to the 2007 Guide to Admissions and Financial Aid. The Guide is a highly efficient source of information for students and their counselors. The pages are separated into PDF's for each individual college, plus the Major Areas of Study chart, Recommended Courses, Deadlines and Fees for Admissions, and a letter from WAICU president Dr. Rolf Wegenke and a statement of sponsorship by Great Lakes Higher Education Consortium. There is also a PDF of the application form, which all of our colleges accept. This can be printed off if students are looking for a paper version.

At each workshop, school counselors can have one-to-one conversations with knowledgeable admissions representatives. They also can get updates on the latest data on private higher education. And, to ensure that each counselor receives material from all 20 WAICU colleges and universities, a packet of informational brochures is distributed. Also, the admissions departments each submit the latest updates on their campuses in written form for the counselors to take with them when they leave.
A registration site is set up at www.waicuweb.org. Click on "Counselors" and then click on "Visit our Counselor Events Calendar". Then click on the event for which you wish to register.
