Procedures for Applying to College
1. Complete and submit all parts of the Senior College Packet to the Guidance Office. All Class of 2009 Senior Packets are now DUE.
2. Complete all student information on all college and scholarship application forms, including signing access waivers, before turning them in to Guidance. The same should be done on the teacher recommendation forms before giving them to teachers. Due to confidentiality requirements, we will not complete any forms without signed waivers.
3. Submit all college and scholarship application forms to Mrs. Kolb (Hoover college admission secretary), at least three (3) weeks prior to the postmark deadline. The exception to this 3-week period is for January 1st deadlines; these forms are due by Thanksgiving Break. NO EXCEPTIONS or EXCUSES!
4. Attach the recommendations to properly addressed envelopes. (If the college requires teacher recommendations, give the teacher form directly to the teacher, and provide a properly addressed, stamped envelope with a copy of an updated resume.)
5. Request a transcript to be sent to the college(s) where you have applied. All transcript requests must be in WRITING; telephone calls are not permitted. Either submit a Transcript Request form in person to the Guidance Office or email your request to kkolb@hoover.k12.al.us (Hoover High). You must already have a Transcript Release Form signed by a parent and on file with the Guidance Office. (There is a $2 charge per transcript for students who have already graduated.)
6. Remember, your deadlines are YOUR responsibility. Respect your teachers’ and counselors’ time and their commitment to all of their students, not just you. This process can be stressful or well managed; it is really is up to you. The staff is here to help you. Good Luck!!
