You've been accepted. Now what? It's just possible that you've been accepted to several colleges, so it's decision time. Making this final choice is both challenging and exciting. In this section, we'll review a few important things to consider before you accept that offer. If you have time, review your notes. Remember all those considerations you've listed-- family needs, credit transfers, majors, college size. Refresh yourself with why you wanted to attend a particular school, and don't forget to review your financial aid options. The cost of college can be an important factor to consider. Make sure you complete the Financing your Education module before finally accepting your offer.
After deciding on a college or university, make sure you follow the instructions on the acceptance letter or email for accepting the offer of admissions or deferring, which is simply starting a semester or two down the road. What are the deadlines for notifying the college of your decision? Is there a deposit required? Just read the acceptance information carefully, and you'll be fine. Make sure you've completed all the necessary paperwork to allow you to register for classes when the time comes.
According to the timeline set by the college, set up an appointment with an academic advisor to review your degree plan and the placement of previously earned and accepted transfer credits. Get your financial situation squared away by meeting with the college's VA certifying official, and provide them with all the necessary paperwork.
Once accepted, you should definitely feel a sense of relief. However, don't stop working to set yourself up for success. Stay on top of housing information if you're moving to a different state, deadlines, et cetera, so that you're not rushing to fulfill ancillary needs as you're getting ready to start your next semester. Determine your housing requirements and apply for campus housing if necessary. Finally, it's time to start choosing classes. Once the time comes, you'll need to enroll in your courses. Find out if your college gives priority registration to veterans. Don't forget to sign up for orientation, and once classes start, get your books.
