Resources - The Blueprints to College Counseling Client-Facing Routine Assignments Packages
Purchase Routine Assignment packages to be used exclusively with the CounselMore Routine Assignments functionality. The assignments can be used as the comprehensive college readiness product plan or break up the assignments into several smaller service packages, or spread out the assignments for preparation services in grades 8, 9, 10 and/or use with Broadcast Messages.
Keep an eye out for these common queries!
1. What is the discounted price for the curriculum and how do I access the discount as a new member?
- All new members will find a discounted price offer in their app. Navigate to your Toolbox and click "see more" or next" the payment offer will open.
2. If I purchase the curriculum and for some reason need to put my account on hold, would I need to purchase the curriculum all over again?
- There isn't an option to put your account on hold but you can downsize to the smallest plan and still maintain all of your purchases
3. How flexible is CounselMore with providing support in the late afternoon or evenings (PST), if I need support with the platform?
- Are you located in PST? We are in Silicon Valley California. We post our response times in our replies. But you have account set up and onboarding all included in your basic plan - so members usually write to support@counselmore.com with specific questions.
- The best way to get started is to watch the onboarding video and set up your account - while working through the video keep a list of questions. At the end of the video, book your training session for that phase of onboarding. You'll be up and running in 2 weeks (average).
- The questions you have about building your practice are handled by peer mentors - they will guide your professional development. We are heavily collaborative community.
2024 Assignments will be released in February 2024. If you have purchased the Assignments package previously, you will automatically receive a new set of Assignments each year. It is your choice as to what you choose to use. Updates each year are no charge. All updates are included in original price of Assignments.

- CounselMore studied the service delivery process of hundreds of practicing college counselors. The best practices and common threads of the comprehensive college finding, planning, placement and enrollment service packages were identified, codified and systematized into the CounselMore College Counseling Software. This is why counselors easily find their process reflected back in CounselMore software because it was grown from the grassroots of college counseling.
