A message about email… 📧, ironic isn't it?

THE ONE THING

Check your email: This might seem obvious, but newly admitted students have missed deadlines, lost scholarships, ignored vital information regarding housing, orientation, registration, financial aid, and leadership opportunities because they DID NOT CHECK their email and applicant portal. Colleges will primarily communicate with students through the school’s email address. Parents do not have access. Remind your student. Make sure they get in the habit of checking their email and portals.
