College Application Season has begun!!

The online college application portals for both the CSU and UC's opened up October 1st. You can now start your online applications for both CSU and UC schools.  You can submit the CSU applications, but must wait till November 1st to submit UC applications.  The deadlines for both is November 30th.
 
The web site for CSU's: www.csumentor.edu
 
Independent colleges and universities have varying application deadlines.  You must check with each school.  You can find information about them on their web sites at www.commonapp.org.
 
We will be having college application workshops throughout October and November in the library periods 2-7.  Please plan on attending one.
 
Workshop dates:
October 22
October 29
November 12
November 19
 
If you decide to complete the applications on your own, please have your counselor check it before you submit.  It is way too easy to make a simple mistake and it is hard to correct it with the colleges once you have submitted your application.
 
Remember that to apply for a four year college, you must have completed the A-G requirements.  You must also have made up or in the process of making up any D's or F's that you received in an A-G class.  See you counselor with questions!
 
Today is the deadline for the November SAT.  If you don't sign up, you will still be able to sign up for the December SAT.  The December SAT is the last SAT you can take that the colleges will accept.  Go to www.collegeboard.com to sign up.
