Complete your ECAP

  • Your ECAP is part of your graduation requirements.  Login to AZCIS, review your Senior Checklist and your My ECAP report to make sure it is up-to-date and complete.  You do not have to have your entire life figured out; rather, you should have a documented plan or direction for your next steps after high school.  The Maricopa Community Colleges may also request your ECAP to better help advise you.  If you need help finishing your ECAP, speak with your Career Center staff or Counselors.  

Check your college portals

  • If you are planning to attend a college in the fall, you need to review your next steps which are often found in the college portal ex. MyASU, UA Future

If you feel like a class is particularly easy for you, help out a friend and be a tutor. Teaching peers can only help solidify learning the material for you, too.

  • Don't forget to send your final transcripts after graduation, which you can order online via Parchment.
