All personally identifying information is fully protected and will never be visible to students.
Students and parents may request to reference parts of your Common App during sessions, and you agree to share relevant materials with them.

You must agree to the policy to continue.

Payment Policy *

Advisors can set their own rates, which will be taken into careful consideration. TalkColleges retains final authority over published rates, though in practice we make every effort to honor the advisor's preference. All advisors will be informed of their confirmed rate before their profile goes live, and will receive advance notice of any adjustments. The minimum and maximum rate is $50 and $150 per session, respectively.
The standard revenue split is 70% to the advisor and 30% to TalkColleges. This split is subject to adjustment based on advisor performance over time.
For the first two sessions, new advisors will receive 50% of their standard rate as part of an introductory period. Full rates will take effect beginning with the third session.
In the event that an advisor is absent during a scheduled session without prior notice, a temporary split of 50% to the advisor and 50% to TalkColleges will be applied to only the next session.
Payment will be disbursed upon the completion of each session.
Earnings are not guaranteed. Session availability and income depend on student demand, your availability, and other factors outside of TalkColleges' control. TalkColleges makes no representations or guarantees regarding the amount of income you may earn as an advisor.
