Your senior year is a blast and full of excitement, but it can also get pretty hectic with all the tasks, goals, and responsibilities that might stress you out if you’re not ready for them. Staying organized is key to managing everything. The best way to do this is to get a head start (like right now!) and avoid putting things off. Checking items off a list or using a planner can really help keep you on track. To make your senior year smoother, UCanGo2 has created a Senior Timeline and a Senior Checklist to help you succeed.
The Senior Timeline lays out a plan for each month, starting from the summer before your senior year kicks off. It includes specific tasks to tackle each month, important websites to check out, and activities to complete. Use this timeline as your roadmap to navigate your senior year and ensure you don’t miss any crucial requirements or deadlines. The Senior Timeline is also available in Spanish.
The Senior Checklist is a broader and more general outline of items to keep in mind during the upcoming fall, spring and summer before you start college. There are links to useful websites and resources which will assist you in completing college planning responsibilities. It lists tasks you can accomplish to keep your FAFSA and financial aid on target, as well reminders and resources to help you apply for and earn scholarships. You’ll also find academic reminders to make sure you stay in contact with your counselor, prospective colleges, and stay on track for graduation. Don’t forget…public high school seniors are now required to complete the FAFSA in order to meet graduation requirements.
Our Senior Timeline and Senior Checklist are the perfect duo to help you navigate and experience a successful senior year. Find an abundance of resources to help you plan, prepare and pay for college at UCanGo2.org.
