Applying for a college

To Apply to a College:   Most colleges have a “view book” that contains the application form. If you do not have an application form, please check with Mrs. Miller to see if we have any. 

Online Applications: Colleges are encouraging students to apply online when possible. If you apply online, be sure to request that a transcript to be sent to the college.

To Have Your Transcript Sent to a College: 

1. Fill out the application and place it in a stamped-addressed envelope.
2. Either take the envelope to the office and ask Mrs. Bulkowski or Mrs. Hrabak to put the envelope in Mrs. Miller’s mailbox, or personally deliver the envelope to Mrs. Miller
3. Mrs. Miller will fill out anything that is asked for of a school official, will enclose a transcript, and will mail it.

Please Note: An official transcript cannot be given to you or your parent to be put in with an application. Official transcripts must go from school to school. Mrs. Miller can give you a transcript that is marked “issued to student,” but most colleges request an official transcript.

Please stop by the guidance office during your study periods or after school for any assistance you need with anything. Mrs. Miller will meet with you, your parents, you and your parents, or whomever you would like to bring, at any time during the school day, any time outside the school day, or at any time at your convenience.

College Visits

College open house and visitation days are posted on the bulletin board outside the guidance office as fliers arrive from colleges.  Please check the bulletin board weekly for new announcements and other general college information.

Procedures for In-School College Visits

1. Ask permission of the teacher of any class that you may miss. Prior permission must be received in order for you to meet with the representative.  Do not ask on the day and time that the representative is here. “Prior” means before the day of the visit.
2. Pick up a pass on the ledge in the entrance to the guidance office. The pass is your pass out of class—if you are already in class at the time of the visit—or into class—if the visit started before the beginning of the class period.
3. Upon your return to class, give the pass to your teacher. In the event that you will not likely return to class because of lunch or the school day has ended, please drop the pass off in the main office. Most visits will last 15-30 minutes.

Campus Visits: If you follow the proper procedure, you are allowed two college-visit days that count as field-trip days and do not count as a day of absence.

Procedures for Campus Visits

1. Pick up a form from Mrs. Miller in the guidance office or from Mrs. Hrabak or Mrs. Bulkowski in the main office. The teachers of the classes you will be missing and your parent/guardian must sign the form.
2. Turn the form in to Mrs. Bulkowski. Please do not lay the form on the counter or give the form to somebody else and expect him/her to turn it in for you. If Mrs. Bulkowski does not see the form two full days in advance, it will not count as a field trip.
3. If you do not turn the form in two days in advance and you still want to have a campus visit, it will count as a day of absence. The day will be an excused absence if you bring a note from the college admissions office that states that you visited.

Scholarship Information

Scholarship Bulletin

A Scholarship Bulletin will be issued approximately every two weeks or so.  The bulletin will have the name of the scholarship, the eligibility requirements, and how to apply.  If you are interested in scholarships, please keep up on checking out the bulletins and pay attention to deadlines.

Bulletins will be available at the information desk.  A copy of the bulletin will be posted on the bulletin board across from the main office as well.  Please check the bulletin board frequently in case you were absent or did not hear the announcement that a new bulletin was issued. 

Please stop by the guidance office during your study periods or after school for any assistance you need with anything.  Mrs. Miller will meet with you, your parents, you and your parents, or whomever you would like to bring, at any time during the school day, any time outside the school day, or at any time at your convenience.
