There’s an abundance of information that the college passes on based on the student’s particular situation.
When you apply for college admission, you’ll get a student ID number emailed to you and will be instructed to create a portal with that college.
The Portal is used to communicate with you about any forms or deadlines that are approaching.
It is used for refunding deposits, providing you with your Financial Aid Offer, applying for housing, applying to get a roommate, and so much more.
If you are willing, it might not be a bad idea to sit down with your parent(s) and explore the site with them. They may see something important that you are overlooking or may be able to help you maneuver from task to task.
