Students from several PUHSD high schools are expected to attend the events, which cover a multitude of areas, from how to secure financial aid and identify college course selections to how to easily navigate the college enrollment process. In addition to completing the entire enrollment process in a single day, attendees can take part in tours and orientations at the schools while finding out more about what it takes to apply and attend from representatives and enrollment professionals.

Representatives from Thriving Together will also track the enrollment patterns of students who attend Express Enrollment events in an effort to assess the success of the program and determine how to sustain and improve it moving forward.
