College Counseling - Summer Roadmap Congratulations, Class of 2017! You have made it half way through your College Counseling journey. Before you depart for summer break, we would like to provide you with some structured advice and a roadmap for the coming weeks and months.

Teacher Recommendations - By now, you should have submitted your Teacher Recommendation Form, which were due in to the College Counseling office by May 13th. If you have not yet sent yours in, you must do so as soon as possible. Testing - See official dates attachment. Note registration deadlines for June exams are imminent. College Tours - Juniors are welcome to join us for our Ohio College Tours to Denison University and The Ohio State University on Tuesday, May 31, 2016. The deadline to submit permission forms (attached) to the College Counseling office is Monday, May 23rd. Transcripts - In late June, we will mail each of you an updated copy of your school transcript. Please note, seniors need their transcripts sent to colleges first. If you have additional transcript needs/questions, please contact Mrs. Young by Friday, May 27th. NCAA - If you need a final junior year transcript sent to the NCAA, you must request it through the online NCAA Eligibility Center, under your individual account. To create your account, you need to register via the NCAA website on your own, and you will pay a fee before making the transcript request. See Mrs. Young with any questions. Application Workshop – to be held in our NEW College Counseling Office:

• Monday, August 8 11 am to 2 pm • Wednesday, August 10 4 pm to 7 pm • Tuesday, August 16 9 am to 12 pm • Monday, August 22 9 am to 12 pm • Tuesday August 23 9 am to 12 pm

Every one of you must plan to attend ONE session (the same information will be repeated, so you only need to attend on one of the dates). Each session will last 3 hours - please plan accordingly. Times were chosen with athletic pre-season schedules in mind. Mark your calendars and watch for a reminder/sign-up email over the summer from Mrs. Young. Summer Break - Lastly, we need a summer break and so do you. Following graduation, please try to be resourceful about finding answers to questions on your own. During June and July, we spend time with our families, prepare for next year, work on recommendation letters, and attend conferences. Enjoy some down time, or at least a change of pace! Also, be sure to write a draft of your college essay. We will return to the office full-time on Monday, August 1st. We look forward to working closely with you during your senior year!
