After high school graduation to-do's
Main summary
Key takeaways
The video offers essential to-do tips for the summer after high school graduation and before starting college:
- Attend Orientation: Register for and attend Freshman Orientation (usually between May and August) to tour campus, meet advisors and current students, and create your fall class schedule. Earlier attendance can provide more course options.
- Buy or Rent Books Wisely: Explore options beyond the Campus Bookstore, such as renting or buying used books online or off-campus, to save money.
- Consider Summer Bridge Programs: Ask your admissions counselor about programs that allow you to live on campus during the summer to get familiar with the environment, classes, and staff before the semester starts.
- Learn Campus Essentials: Identify key campus locations like the library, registrar’s office, bursar’s office (for tuition payments), and Financial Aid Office.
- Navigate Student Portals: Understand how to use your Student Portal to accept or decline financial aid awards and manage other important tasks.
