Dear Finnegan,

It is already October 1st and we hope that you have had a successful first 4 weeks of school.

Remember students should be “logging in” their college information with their college counselor.

Important” logging in” Deadlines:

If you have an application deadline of November 1 or November 15, your schools must be logged in with your college counselor by Monday, October 24, 2016.

If you have an application deadline of January 1, or January 15, your schools must be logged in with your college counselor by Friday, December 2, 2017.

Please note – attached to this email is a document that describes the student’s (applicants) responsibilities and the College Counseling responsibilities in order to make an application complete.

If you have not scheduled an initial appointment with your college counselor please contact Jackie Morillas ( [email-masked]) or stop in the College Counseling Office to schedule an appointment once school begins.
