College Facts Scavenger Hunt Staff Directions for the College Facts Scavenger Hunt: You may put up however many posters around the school that you want; we suggest a mix of nearby campuses and the 2-year and 4-year colleges. There are 23 institution represented, so you may want to have students locate 5-6 per event (i.e. a few for GEAR UP week, a few for College Application Week, a few for FAFSA, a few during First Gen day). When a student brings back a completed form, take their photo (if your school collects parental permission for photos) and share it on social media using the hash tags for the event. For example, if you are using this as a part of college application week, you would use the #iapplied, or if during GEAR UP Week, #MTGEARUP. If you cannot post their photos, as an alternative, use their first name and post that they won the school-wide college scavenger hunt. Sample: Congratulations to Marcus for being the first in 9th grade at (school name) to answer all the question in our Montana College Facts Scavenger Hunt.

    800.541.9281 ● 406.874.6100 www.milescc.edu 2017-2018 Catalog College Accreditation Agency Miles Community College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding an institution’s accredited status by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact: Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities 8060 165th Avenue N.E., Suite 100 Redmond, WA 98052 (425) 558-4224 www.nwccu.org Table of Contents Student Information and Resources Message from the President .................................................
