GETTING READY FOR COLLEGE
Pick a goal…what does your student want to study in college?
If he/she needs help deciding their future career, consider taking the Kuder Assessment; we have the forms in the counselor’s office.
EMAIL ADDRESS
Several colleges have said student NEED their own email address.
They have told us if they see the email is from the parent they tell them to get there own!!
Apply Early
Make sure your student gets started early in the fall…as soon as school starts.
Nov. 1 used to be the optimum date for completion of all paperwork; deadlines are getting earlier and earlier…
College Entrance Exams Juniors should sign up for both the SAT
and the ACT in the late spring of this year. Then, repeat both or the one that was the highest in the early fall.
Visit the websites at:

TSI—Texas State Initiative
A state mandate that requires students to be assessed in reading, writing and math prior to college.
HCC will announce in the spring at the HCC Night what will fulfill the TSI requirement.
