COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Request the paper application (or you can chose to apply on-line if available).
Complete all student and parent sections.
Bring the completed application(s) to Ms. Slagle with all appropriate documents requested including fees TWO WEEKS prior to deadline (or earlier!)
Request transcript release card TWO WEEKS prior to deadline (or earlier!). The first transcript is free, others $2 (this covers the mailing of the transcript, mid-year transcripts and the final end of the year transcript). If you are applying on-line state on card that you are applying on-line.
Recommendations: ask teachers who know you and who you have good rapport to write you a recommendation (not college specific) and have them give me at least 5 copies so that I can include it with your application package.
Guidance Counselor recommendation: Ms. Slagle must have your resume and the form titled "Interview with College Bound Student".
Secondary School Report: most colleges have a one to two page report. If you are applying on-line make sure that you download and print the form. Turn the form in to Ms. Slagle.
Resume: make sure you have done it and that it is up to date!
PROOF PROOF PROOF!!!!!!!!!! And then proof read your application and essays one more time!
Ms. Slagle will complete your package, copy and mail for you. Make sure you give her plenty of time to do a good job for you!
And last but not least, when those college acceptance letters (and scholarship awards) start pouring in, please bring them to Ms. Slagle so that she can make a copy. This is the only way that we can acknowledge you.
