Congratulations, you're almost there! Your senior year will be an exciting one that, for most students, will be focused on making the smooth transition to college, work, or the military. There's a LOT to do this year (for both parents and students), so take a deep breath and try not to get overwhelmed.

Deadlines - Your Responsibility!
You are responsible for knowing and meeting all deadlines for college admissions, scholarships, letters of recommendations, etc. You are ultimately responsible for knowing and meeting all deadlines. When it is necessary for you to have a counselor complete a recommendation letter or other submission, you must provide a request to your counselor TEN DAYS prior to the deadline. If you’re not sure where to find deadline information, please see your counselor. |
Selective Service Registration - Males age 18 - 25
“…To furnish manpower to the Defense Department during a national emergency, to manage alternative service for men classified as conscientious objectors, and to register, with only a few exceptions, all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants residing in the United States who are ages 18 through 25...” If you are a male who is 18 years old, you must register with the US Selective Service. To register, click here. If you don't register, not only are you violating the law, but you will be ineligible to receive any federal student loan or grant programs. It's simple to do, so register as soon as you turn 18! |
