1. *Sending Test Scores: *
_Sending Test Scores to UC's_: Remember, when sending test scores to
UC's, you only need to send them to ONE UC, and all other campuses will
then have access to your scores.
_Sending Test Scores to CSU’s_: SAT - List the CSUMentor institution
code so that CSUMentor can store your scores for any CSU campus to
retrieve. The CSUMentor institution code for the SAT is 3594.
ACT - If you have listed a CSU campus as an ACT score report recipient,
you can use the ACT Scores Manager to release your score to additional
campuses. Before you can use the ACT Scores Manager, you must first
have arranged for your scores to be sent to a CSU campus. If you have
not yet arranged for your ACT scores to be sent to a CSU campus, you can
learn how to request this at www.actstudent.org/scores/send/index.html
<http://www.actstudent.org/scores/send/index.html>.
*For CSUs with earlier deadlines for receiving test scores, we recommend
sending your scores directly to those campuses (for faster service).
Private Colleges: You must send the test scores to each individual campus.
2. *Sending Mid-Year Grade Reports:* For schools on the Common App,
your counselor who you have identified to provide a Secondary School
Report will also upload your mid-year report (transcript) online.
For non-Common App schools that require mid-year reports, you must
submit a transcript request form with a stamped and addressed envelope
to our Registrar’s Office, D-173. *Please check all of your accounts and
school websites for requirements and deadlines. We recommend that you
check all of your accounts and school portals at least once per week for
updates.*
**
*3.**SET UP YOUR COLLEGE ACCOUNTS AND PORTALS:* After applying to
colleges / universities, check your e-mail accounts frequently. You
will likely receive contact from the colleges you have applied to,
traditionally providing instructions and information to set up your
account with the particular school you have applied to. These accounts,
often referred to as portals, will be your main line of communication
with each particular college/university. We recommend checking for
updates frequently!
4. *Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)*: What is Educational
Opportunity Program (EOP)? The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is
designed to improve access for and retention of historically low-income
and educationally disadvantaged students. An EOP student has the
potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a
CSU, but has not been able to realize this potential because of economic
or educational background. The program provides admission and academic
assistance to EOP-eligible undergraduate students. In many cases, the
program offers financial assistance to eligible students. Campuses
tailor their programs to accommodate the needs of their student
population (CSUMentor.edu)
Who May Apply?
Only historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged
undergraduate students who need admission assistance and support
services to succeed in college are admitted to EOP. They must
demonstrate academic potential and motivation, be California residents
or otherwise eligible, and meet the income criteria.
For additional information about EOP, please visit:
http://www.csumentor.edu/finaid/steps/eop.asp
How to apply to EOP: In your CSU application, answer “yes” to the
question asking if you would like to be considered for the EOP. After
submitting a CSU application, you will receive a confirmation page. On
the confirmation page, click on the EOP link.
If you are planning on applying to EOP and would like to receive
assistance with your application, please visit your College Advisor (Ms.
Price or Mr. Barton) for support.
5. *CSU PLACEMENT TESTS:* CSU requires you to take the English
PlacementTest (EPT) and the Entry-Level Mathematics Test (ELM) before
you enroll. Your scores are not used for admission purposes, but they do
determine which math and English courses you should take to begin your
career at CSU. Most students will have to take the exam, but there are
some circumstances under which you may be exempt. Seniors: If you are
planning on attending a CSU, we encourage you to take care of this
requirement (Placement Tests) early in the spring. By completing this
process early, you will not have to worry about missing any deadlines
for this requirement. Free online preparation for these exams is
available at https://www.ets.org/csu/about/
6.Seniors who are applying to colleges*that are not on the Common
Application*: please review this message for document submissionguidelines*
a. If the college does not use the Common Application:
- Download the required form (Secondary School Report) from the
collegewebsite (check to see if the college has this form – some do not).
- Complete a "Transcript Request Form" (available from the BHS
Registrar's Office in D173) and sign it. If you are under 18, the
parent or guardian must sign.
- Paper-clip the Transcript Request Form and the college’s form to a
large manila envelope addressed to the college, with the Berkeley High
School address as the return address. Include required postage.
- Turn in all the large manila envelopes to the College and Career
Center ASAP
b. Completing forms for *schools that only require an official
transcript and _not a_ Counselor Recommendation*:
Submit the following forms to the Registrar in room D173:
- A signed transcript request form for each college. If you are under
18, your parent or guardian must sign it.
- Clip each transcript request from to a stamped business-size envelope
addressed to the college with Berkeley High School as the return
address. Clip all forms and envelopes together.
Remember, CSU's and UC's do not require letters of recommendation for
admission purposes. *CSU's usually request transcripts, but they do so
individually and they do not all have the same deadlines.* UC's will
traditionally request official transcripts in the spring, from students
who are accepted to their university. It is important to check your
email accounts frequently.
For colleges using the Common App, the counselor submitting the letter
of recommendation (also known as the Secondary School Report) will also
electronically upload and submit the mid-year report and final transcript.
7. * GET EDUcated!* EDU, Inc. – COMMON BLACK COLLEGE APPLICATION: Apply
to 32 member institutions for a one-time fee of $35. For information and
to view the online application, please visit –www.eduinconline.com
<http://www.eduinconline.com/>
8. *SENIOR GRADES COUNT!* Whether you are applying to a private
college/university, CSU, UC, or out of state public school, senioryear
grades count! While you may be admitted to a college in the winter or
early in the spring, this is traditionally a preliminary or
“conditional” admittance pending receipt of your official senior year
grades.
