You can also reach the financial aid professionals at Centralia College and we will also be having workshops & information sessions. Please be watching for additional details
COLLEGE DEADLINES:
Deadlines are critical. Please make sure you are planning ahead. I have made a quick reference sheet for Washington Public Universities. Of course you may be applying to other colleges, but hopefully this will be a helpful start. Click here
SAT/ACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of change for the college process and in particular to the requirement for SAT/ACT test scores. More and more colleges have announced they are moving to a test-optional policy. However, each college is different. You MUST check with the specific college. I have listed SAT/ACT info for WA public colleges on the College Deadline Sheet for reference.
