College Application Day
College Application Day will be on October 1st in the morning. This is a day where the Bank of North Dakota pay for ONE application fee for a ND College. NDSU is a free application HOWEVER - if you have a college that does have an application fee THIS would be the day to apply (UND, Valley City, NDSCS) - Minnesota Colleges also run free application during this month as well.
Financial Aid
The date for signing up for financial aid is not set yet. This will be an event where you AND your parent can sign up for financial aid. You will need to create your account and invite your parent/s ahead of time (at least 2-3 weeks BEFORE the event) it takes time to verify you and your parents identity.
There will be resources and information in your Senior "blue folder" given out at your Senior meeting about Financial Aid.
**If you have a sibling that has signed up or your parent/s already have an account- they can log into that account - BUT you will need to create your own account and "invite" them to your application.
Things to Do

College Orientation:

If you have not signed up for an Orientation date or if your school has not contacted you, you may want to call admission and ask.
Request a transcript from Mrs. Lemke if you need to take a copy with you when you sign up for classes.
If you need help figuring out or want to talk over what classes to take before you register, make an appointment with me.
If you are going to a private college (University of Jamestown or University of Mary) and you have taken college courses, you need to request your transcript from the colleges to be sent. -SEE VIDEO BELOW
