Information for College Reps

We welcome you to visit Marin Academy and meet with our wonderful students. Only 11th and 12th graders are invited to attend meetings with college representatives.

All visits are scheduled after school—either at 3:00  or 3:30 p.m., depending on the day’s schedule. We use MaiaVisits to book rep visits. Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Sign up as a College/University Admissions Staff or sign in here.
  2. Click on Schedule Visit.
  3. Enter Marin Academy and the preferred week for your visit.
  4. Click on one of the available slots.
  5. Click SAVE.
  6. If the preferred time slot is already booked, please contact us at collegecounseling@ma.org.

Here is a video tutorial on Scheduling College Visits as a College Rep in MaiaLearning. We will send you further details once we confirm your visit. If you would like to conduct interviews or portfolio reviews on campus, we would be happy to help you with that as well.
