The Presentation Archive houses Annual Conference, SLC, and IDEA presentations and handouts (when available) in order to preserve and share best practices with WACAC members.

Categories include:
1. Admissions & Financial Aid
2. Applications
3. Colleges & Universities
4. Counseling Program Management
5. Majors
6. Student Populations
Please note that the college admission process is constantly evolving; you should always verify specific data and policy information contained in archived files. WACAC is not responsible for validating presentation file data.
