For US families

The Post-High School Timeline

A planning framework for college applications, funding decisions, gap-year deferrals and alternatives after high school.

US timeline in development. This page shows the supported planning stages without inventing a national calendar. College, testing and financial-aid timing varies by year, institution, state and applicant.

The planning sequence

Use these stages as a checklist, not as a source of dates. Each family should build its calendar from current official requirements.

Topics this timeline supports

The shared timeline component is ready for verified US content to be added as a country dataset.
