Congratulations! You've finished your senior year. You flipped your tassel at graduation,
hugged friends and family. Maybe you even shed a few tears.
High. School. Is. Over.
But there are still a few loose ends you should tie up over the next few months to
make sure you start over strong as a college freshman:
- Ask your counselor to forward your final transcripts to the college of your choice
and find out if there may be any additional financial aid available. Every little
bit helps!
- Contact the college and find out the payment requirements for tuition and fees due
for on-campus living (if necessary).
- Investigate any on-campus work possibilities at the college or university.
- If you just can't wait to get started on your college career, find a gen ed offered
as a summer class. Start taking advantage of summer opportunities to focus on classes
you know will be a challenge to take during the semester.
Whether you take classes, work multiple jobs or both, be sure to find some time to
relax and celebrate. You've earned it.
Have a great summer!
