UIC – some colleges are now requesting this Unique Identifier Code.  It is not required, you may submit without including it.  This information can be found in Naviance by following these directions:

 Click on About Me tab

Click on My Account

Use the State ID Number found in the Personal section

To View Your Full Senior Schedule - login to PowerSchool - select My Schedule.  Choose Matrix View and it should display the full schedule for this school year.

Class and Subject Codes or Numbers - some colleges are now requesting this information in addition to a student's schedule.  It is not required, you may submit without including it.  If you wish to include this information, you may find it in the Course Description Guide found here.

Early Action/Decision – These options can be very confusing.  Please refer these questions directly to the college/university admissions office.  They know how their program works and will be happy to help you decide.

Disciplinary Actions - The counselors select, “School policy prevents me from responding” on their portion of the application/school report.  However, we believe the student has a responsibility to report suspensions on their portion and possibly include a letter that explains discipline and what you learned from it.

Grand Rapids Community College Application - You will be asked to identify your high school for the GRCC application.  When prompted, search for Forest Hills with the city of Grand Rapids.  Select Forest Hills East High School as your school.

FAFSA High School Selection - During the FAFSA, you will be asked to indicate your high school.  If you search for Eastern High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan, you will receive more than one option with no way of deciphering which to select.  

Here is what FAFSA instructed us to tell our students.  When completing the form, you will encounter the following questions:

What is the name of your high school?  Type "Forest Hills Eastern High School"

In what city is your high school located?  Type "Ada"

In what state is your high school located?  Select "Michigan"

DO NOT select the CONFIRM button, simply select NEXT and the form will populate with the information you entered.  

This will not impact the results of your FAFSA.
