Senior To-Do List
- Familiarize yourself with all admissions, financial aid and scholarship deadlines.
- Respond promptly to requests for information from college admissions offices. Bring, or forward, requests from the colleges that require something from NDHS.
- Complete all requests for information from the College Admissions, Financial Aid & Housing offices at the school of your choice.
- Make final visits and file FAFSA as soon as possible.
- Update NAVIANCE when you are accepted to a college. Bring, or email, a copy of all scholarship offers (regardless of whether or not you are going to accept the offer) to Mrs. Stone in the Counseling Office.
- Do NOT drop any senior core courses or slack off in your studies. We are required to inform colleges of any changes in your academic standing as well as any major discipline infractions. They CAN withdraw their offers of admission!
