To get the most from your short time at a college booth, consider these 10 things:

1) Does the school offer courses and degrees in the areas thatIm most interested?

2) Are there financial aid opportunities on campus for me? Are there tuition waivers? Can I defer any of my deposits at all?

3) When can I begin the application process? What testsdo I need to take to qualify, the SAT or ACT, and what are the cut off scores?

4) What are the options for housing and does one fit my needs?

5) Will I be required to attend a summer orientation session? What will it cost me and what costs are covered by the school?

6) Are there resources/support services for: differently abled students, athletes, Native Americans, Multi-cultural students, women, LGBT students, etc?

7) What type of student health services are offered, if any?

8) Is the school in the size town or city that I can see myself living in for 4 to 5 years?

9) What are my transportation options to and from home?

ACCESS POINTSAt any point in the college search and selection process, you will meet people who are invested in higher education access. These people can be considered access points for you. When you have a question about a school, these people may not necessarily know the answer; however, they know who does. Take advantage of their invita-tion to contact them with questions. Theyll connect you to the best person to respond to your question.

Additionally, summer programs, financial aid and scholarship providers, tribal education, school counselors, and career mentors may know people on campuses; all of these people are interested in and invested in your admission to and success in college. Use them as access points to get the information you need to succeed. The most important thing to know is that if you have a question, there is an answer for you. Keep a good record of all your access points and contact them as often as needed to ensure your academic success.

Dont forget to be grateful. Saying or writing thank you to access points, financial aid providers, advisors and mentors will go a long way to assuring they will remain an access point for you.
