Transcription

1 CARDINAL RITTER HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR BULLETIN February 2017 Seniors: It s February! It s time to check in on your future plans. College decisions made? Have you received acceptances? Do you know where you will be attending? Do you still need to apply? If you have finalized your decision, please send in your housing deposit, etc. to the university/college. This is usually nonrefundable. Details should be noted in your acceptance letter on what needs to be done. As a courtesy, please withdraw your application to any other school where you have been accepted. You can do that by notifying the admissions office for each school. Not yet sure which school? Or maybe you still need to complete some applications? Please come to the guidance office, if you would like some help with the process. As always, please be sure to bring in your scholarship award letters and also your college acceptance letters. We want to make sure you are being recognized for your hard work! Finally, please remember this semester still counts! Your final transcript will be given to the university/college you attend for review in June. Please continue to do your best. If you need any assistance, please come see us in the guidance office!
