deadline to turn in this form is February 8, 2013.<br>
<br>
<font color=black><span style='color:black'>2. </span></font>FINANCIAL AID:
The <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>FAFSA</span></b> and the <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>CA Dream Act</span></b> application periods are open

financial aid package that you are eligible for, you are highly encouraged to
submit your FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application as early as possible.<br>
<br>
If you are planning on applying for financial aid, you and your parents should
sign up for a PIN# at <a href="http://www.fafsa.ed.gov" target="_blank">www.fafsa.ed.gov</a>.
Applications are now available for the 2013-2014 school year.<br>
<br>
<font color=black><span style='color:black'>3. </span></font>IF YOU HAVE NOT
SENT IN YOUR TEST SCORES FROM <a href="http://COLLEGEBOARD.ORG" target="_blank">COLLEGEBOARD.ORG</a>
OR <a href="http://ACT.ORG" target="_blank">ACT.ORG</a> TO THE COLLEGES YOU
HAVE APPLIED TO, DO SO ASAP.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<font color=black><span style='color:black'>4. </span></font>CSU PLACEMENT
TESTS: CSU requires you to take the English Placement Test (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.<br>
<br>
Seniors: If you are planning on attending a CSU, we encourage you to take care
of this requirement (Placement Tests) early in the spring.<br>
<br>
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 <a href="https://www.ets.org/csu/about/" target="_blank">https://www.ets.org/csu/about/</a><br>
<br>
We recommend adhering to the earliest deadline for any CSU that you’ve
applied to. Remember, CSU deadlines are campus specific, and CSU’s do not
all share the same deadlines.<br>
<br>
A Few CSU’s Still accepting Undergraduate Applications for Fall 2013: A handful
of CSU’s will continue to accept applications on a space available basis,

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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<br>
