PARTING ADVICE

Not sure about something? Need help? Reach out and ask! We are

more than happy to help and clarify. Be proactive. Communicate with

the admissions department, counselor, professor, teacher.

Cross your ‘t’s and dot your ‘i’s. Fill out information correctly. An

incorrect email address or date of birth can lead to headaches down the

road.

Sit down and plan: Meet deadlines, register and apply on time. Take

time to gather required documents. It takes a while to order, mail, and

process documents.
