Student Portal

UMatch provides each student with a customized web-based college admissions management tool. The portal allows you to manage assignments, prioritize college lists, and meet application deadlines all from one centralized location. 

The portal is pre-loaded with pages of information about thousands of colleges and universities and provides a jumping-off point for more thorough research as you refine your list.

The easy-to-use mobile interface allows you to make notes directly from your phone into the portal while on college visits, and you may elect to receive communications from UMatch and calendar reminders via text message.
