4.	MAY 1 Deadline- May 1 is the deadline to 
send in your Statement of Intent to register

most schools, if you do not send in your SIR and 
your deposit (if required) by May 1, you will not 
be able to attend that school I the fall.  You may
only send in a SIR to one school.  It is 
unethical to tell more than one school that you 
plan to attend their college in the fall.  If you 
have any questions at all, please stop by to see 
me at lunch or after school.
