Seniors – Important info! PLEASE READ !!
1. 4 year college applicants!!
You should be getting emails with really important info and requests! Please READ EVERYTHING you are sent, by email and by US mail! For instance:
EXAMPLE 1:
Be sure you have OFFICIALLY sent your test scores to the colleges, using collegeboard and/or act websites! You will NOT BE ADMITTED if you never sent your scores.
EXAMPLE 2:
Be sure you are signing up for the EPT/ELM placement test for CSU’s! If you google EPT/ELM, you will be taken to the site to sign up. You can take the test at ANY CSU, but there is no fee waiver! Please check with your counselor to see if you cleared these already with your EAP test scores from last year, or with SAT tests.
EXAMPLE 3:
Check to see if your college is requesting transcripts! You may send an OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT by filling out a form at the front desk. You may not send an official transcript if you owe any bills! Usually, only CSU’s and private colleges request transcripts before summer. Skipping any of these can result in denial of admission! THERE’S STILL A LOT TO DO!!
