From choosing a college  to finding ways to pay for it,  we’ve got you covered.

If you’re planning to apply early action or early decision, the deadlines are typically November 1 or 15, but may be open through December 1. Make sure to get those in!

December is your last chance to retake the ACT or SAT exams this year. The registration deadlines are in early November, so sign up now if you’re planning to submit test scores with your applications.

Some regular decision applications have December due dates (though some can be as early as November). Even if your applications aren’t due until January, it’s a good goal to finish them up before the holidays.

If you haven’t already, fill out the FAFSA, so you don’t miss out on scholarships, grants, or federal loans.
