Information for High School Guidance Counselors to upload documents and track the status of a student’s application.
The Office of Admissions at Northwestern has established a portal for counselors through Slate.org. This free tool is designed to assist you in the following:
- Update and share your school profile information
- Manage and approve new and existing users from your institution
- Create and manage college visits and fairs
- View student information, securely upload documents and track students’ status throughout the application process.
Get Started
- Visit Slate.org to create an account, profile page and approve users in your school.
- Choose “Counselors Join Now” and create an account by completing the registration link.
- After you submit your registration, Slate.org will approve and activate your account within 1 to 2 business days. Once the account is activated, Slate.org will send you an e-mail with a temporary pin to create a new password and login. After logging in, you will be able to manage your profile page. You also need to manage permissions of the users within your institution. Learn more on creating a Slate.org account, the approval process, and how to manage new and existing users.
