College Application Procedures
Apply early! The Guidance Office asks that you allow two weeks to process and mail your college applications - so check individual college/university application deadlines and plan your timing with those dates in mind.
- Many applications are available from your counselor but we encourage students to apply on-line through the college web-site.
- Students should bring their completed and signed application, letters of recommendation, and transcript request forms to the guidance counselor.
- Make sure you have a check or money order payable to the college for the application fee.
- The registrar will attach a transcript, school profile, and mail the application.
- Typically, the earlier you apply, the quicker the response time of the college.
- If applying to a selective college/university, be sure to have several second choice schools in mind. Be aware of any special deadlines these schools might have.
- If asking for a letter of recommendation from a teacher, be sure to give a least one week lead time. Also provide the recommender with an up-to-date resume, and be sure to thank them.
- Questions? Stop by the Guidance Office to ask your counselor!]
Transcript Release Forms - Must be completed and returned to the counseling office with EACH COLLEGE APPLICATION
