ACE Weekly Update -- October 27th, 2017
What's Coming Up:
Oct. 30th-Nov. 3rd
Happy Halloween!
Reminders:
CORRECTION: Wednesday, Nov. 1st at 6PM is the deadline to withdraw from a college class. (We mistakenly stated it was Nov. 7th in last week's email.) If you're in any class where you don't think you can earn a C or better, we suggest you seek advice from your coach and your instructor. Please note that you may not be able to withdraw online so you should be prepared to come to campus (Building 2) to withdraw in person if needed.
We're currently accepting ACE students for Spring 2018! If you know someone who might be interested, please share this information with them.
Finals exams are just around the corner! Your coach would be very glad to work with you to make a top-notch study plan!
ACE Orientation will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 13th. You can attend the morning orientation (9AM-1PM) or the evening one (5:30-9:30PM) but you MUST attend in if you plan to participate in ACE in Spring 2018.
Are you ready for next semester?
By now, you and your coach should have begun working on your Next Semester Plan, which helps you plan your next classes, register, and make sure your next semester is paid for. If your Next Semester Plan is not yet complete, please make sure to check with your coach about what steps remain. Reminder: All Next Semester Plans must be completed NO LATER THAN Dec.1st.
THIS COMING THURSDAY....
Have you secured your financial aid for 2018-2019? Now's the time!
The 2018-2019 FAFSA is ready. The sooner you submit your FAFSA, the more aid you're eligible to receive. Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete you new FAFSA.
Remember: There will be a question that says something like, “At the time you begin school, which of the following will you have? High school diploma / High school equivalency / Home school diploma / None of the above” You MUST select “None of the above” if you do not already have your high school equivalency or diploma.
College Goal Sunday!
If you or someone you know would like help with the FAFSA or would like more information about the financial aid process, consider attending College Goal Sunday! For more information, see the flyer below or visit osfa.la.gov/collegegoalsunday.
