What is CustomCollegePlan?

CustomCollegePlan is the name of the account you will log into to work with your counselor throughout the college admissions process. It's easy to get started!

Step 1: Activate your account

You'll receive an email containing an activation link. Simply click on the link, and set up a password. If you'd like your parent or guardian to have access to your account, be sure to tell them your username (email) and password.

Step 2: Log in

Once you have set up a password, you can log in! Be sure to bookmark the login page (www.customcollegeplan.com) for easy access next time you want to log in.

Step 3: Explore

The first page you'll see is the Dashboard. You can get started reading messages from your counselor, researching colleges, and more.

Forgot your password?

No worries! Simply click the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page to receive a password reset email.
