Congratulations!
Now that you have decided which college to attend, you can start getting excited about your new school! We know that this month will go by quickly! Graduation is just around the corner. Take some time to reflect on the last four years and be proud of your achievements!
Do not forget to submit all of the necessary forms (i.e., final high school transcripts, financial aid documentation, immunization records, orientation registration, and summer bridge programs required documents) to complete your college registration. Many services and programs such as housing, orientation and summer bridge programs are on a first come first serve basis. Furthermore, make sure to choose an orientation session in July (if available) as you will use this time to register for classes and they tend to fill out quickly.
Finally continue to apply for scholarships. Now that you have a better idea of how much college costs, we hope that you can see how a $500 or $1,000 scholarship can help to lessen the cost of college.
Best of luck to all of you taking the UC Analytical Writing Placement Exam! Make sure to check our testing samples.
Sincerely,
I AM Staff

New Student Orientation
|
| Why is it important?
- This is a "get acquainted" time. If you have not done so yet, this is your chance to get to know the campus, take a tour, meet students and experience what the campus will feel like during the fall.
- This is an informational time. You will learn how to enroll in classes, explore degree requirements and, if attending a UC, you will take your math placement test.
- This is the beginning of your college journey, enjoy!

Finalizing Your Financial Aid
|
- Re-examine your financial aid applications (make sure you updated your information in the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application)
- Check your student portal. Make sure that you do not have any pending items. If you do, take care of them right away and contact your financial aid office
- If you are taking loans, complete your Loan Entrance Counseling and your Master Promissory Note
