SENIOR CHECKLIST

• Attend Accepted Student Days whether in-person or virtual at any college you may wish to attend.
• Carefully review your financial aid offers. Make sure you understand how much debt you would be assuming at each college, as well as interest rates and payment schedules.
• Keep up your grades. Colleges have the right to revoke an offer.
• Check your email and/or college portal for any communication from colleges.
• Notify your counselor of any acceptances and what college you plan on attending. Your final transcript needs to go out to the college you will attend.
• Remember May 1^st is the national reply date for responding to college offers of freshman admission and a deposit is usually required. (Check with your college as this deadline may be delayed.)
• Inform schools of your decision not to attend; it opens the waitlist for others.
• There is still time to apply to colleges. If you are not planning to attend college, please advise your counselor to discuss your options.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – SENIOR POST-GRADUATION FORM

Next month all seniors must complete the Senior Post-Graduation Form through Naviance.  The form notifies the school counseling department of your plans after graduation, as well as what college you will be attending if you plan on going to college.  After graduation we will automatically send a copy of your transcript to the school you indicated that you will be attending.  Without this information we cannot send your transcript to your college and you will not be able to register for classes!!
