Anxious About College?
Are you worried about the next steps to starting college? Here are some suggestions:
Review your admissions and financial aid offers. Be sure you understand your financial obligation! Contact a financial aid officer at your college if you have ANY questions!
Formally accept your admissions offer.
Decline other admissions offers.
Set up your college email account and follow your college on social media, if you wish.
Complete the EHS Naviance Graduation Survey, so we know where to send your final transcript.
Check out the orientation plans or online class on your college’s website. Sign up for freshman orientation.
Connect with an Academic Advisor at your college - this person can help guide you through the course registration process, placement tests, etc.
Register for placement tests, if required.
Look for a housing application and contract as well as instructions for selecting a roommate and paying your housing deposit.
Organize your medical records. You may need to submit an immunization record and physical exam. EHS will provide a copy of each senior's immunization in silver graduation packet that they will receive at Graduation Rehearsal.
Discuss banking, transportation, and packing logistics with your parents and plan for the fall.
Look into work-study options on campus...you can begin applying for these positions over the summer.
Get in touch with your roommate(s).
Give the college permission to talk to your parents, which helps with billing concerns and allows the college to communicate with them in an emergency.
Watch for updates from your college. Check the college website periodically for changes.
