It's beginning to look a lot like... college decision letter time. When you receive an acceptance letter, many times the schools will request that you mail in a deposit to confirm your attendance. This can be a confusing situation, especially as you receive numerous letters, and I will attempt to clarify some of the points.
1. Do NOT deposit at multiple schools. Perry HS is a member of the National Association of College Admission Counseling (NACAC). We agree to follow their ethics codes (Statement of Principles of Good Practice), which states a student will not deposit at multiple schools. From a different perspective, this can get very expensive.
2. You do NOT have to deposit before May 1. If a college requests your deposit by a different deadline, TELL ME. They are in violation of the ethics codes if they do not grant an extension until May 1. You may have to request an extension in writing, which I suggest you do so that you have a copy for your records.
3. You must deposit by May 1. If you do not, the school may give your spot to someone else.
4. If you deposit before May 1 and change your mind, you may request in writing prior to May 1 for a refund of your deposit.
Still confused. I bet. It can be a very confusing process. Come see me or call me, and I will help you with your individual questions.
