Senior Year - Fall
Seniors: finish your activity resume in your Family Connection/Naviance accounts.
It is wise to demonstrate interest before you apply to a college/university. Finish College Visits - Seniors are encouraged to visit schools when you are not expected at school. The afternoon of September 2, all day October 19, October 28 and December 9 are good days, so you do not miss classes.
Listen to morning announcements for visits from college representatives (all parents are very welcome to attend).
Complete NCAA registration if you intend to play Division I or Division II sports.
College Application Managers
Many colleges and universities require applicants to set up an Application Management account on their website. For many colleges/universities this will be your only form of formal communication.
College Application Managers are used to let applicants know they are missing documents. This is rarely accurate information, so do not panic! Some schools use the manager to send your decision letters (accept, deny, waitlist, deferred) and financial aid awards. This past year colleges/universities closed these accounts when no further action was detected.
All senior families are required to keep copies of All decision and scholarship letters (accept, deny, defer, waitlist). They all must be turned in before you can graduate. Make copies quickly upon receipt of the letter, this past year colleges closed these accounts when no further action was detected.
Submit FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1st (Earlier than ever!) This MUST BE COMPLETED in order for your student to qualify for any federally funded financial aid and some scholarships/grants. You will use your 2015 tax information. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/announcements/fafsa-changes
