COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY INFORMATION

•••

College Applications:

SENIORS should fill out at least three applications to colleges this year. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of getting in (apply before December, if possible). Due to the increase of incoming freshmen on college campuses in the past few years, colleges often raise their standards for freshmen as they begin to get full.

College Visits:

Both JUNIOR and SENIOR students are allowed 5 college visitation days during the school year. Parents must accompany their child on the college tour. The best time to tour a college is not a weekend, but a school day. This allows students to tour with an actual student for part of their school day, classes may be viewed, the real feel of the college can be felt, and parents can meet with financial aid advisors or counselors. This is why we encourage students to tour colleges. Students must notify the school in advance that they will be absent and get their assignments in advance as well.

College Acceptance Letters:

Please make a copy of all college acceptance letters and turn them into the office. We keep a list of all colleges to which our seniors are accepted.

To Play Athletics in College:

Any students who desire to play athletics in college must register with the NCAA prior to graduating from high school. Please go the www.ncaa.org and scroll down the right hand side of the page and click on the link for the NCAA Eligibility Center and register.
