Application: A formal document acquired from a specific institution which must be completed by the student, signed, and returned by a specified deadline. Read carefully; a deadline may be stated to be in the admission office or post-marked by a specified date. Candidate Notification Date: The date by which a college notifies a student of the admission decision. Candidate Reply Date: The date by which the student must notify the college of enrollment intention, May 1. Class Rank: a measure of a student's academic performance compared to other students in his or her class. Deferral: An admission decision postponed pending more information, seventh semester grades, or a clearer differentiation among applicants. Early Decision: An early application process that means a binding commitment to attend. Student and parent must sign that if accepted, the student will matriculate. The colleges share early decision lists; so if accepted, you must withdraw all other applications. Students not admitted under Early Decision are reconsidered with the regular decision applicants. Early Action/Early Notification: An admission plan whereby a student can submit an application usually in November and receive a decision by mid-December. The Early Action/Early Notification student, if accepted, is not automatically bound to enroll. Students accepted under Early Action/Early Notification are not required to notify the college of their enrollment intentions until May 1. G.P.A: Grade point average which is cumulative and refigured each semester. Matriculate: To enroll in a college. National Reply Date: All students must notify each college that accepts them whether or not they are accepting or rejecting the college offer. Students should make these notifications in writing and the letters need to be postmarked by the National Reply Date of May 1. Rolling Admission: Admission decisions are determined on an ongoing basis as applications are received. Notification of the decision is usually in 4 to 6 weeks. Transcript Requests: A form required to release academic records. A transcript request is required to accompany each application that is sent out of the Guidance Office. Wait List: By being placed on the wait list, a school does not initially offer or deny admission, but extends to a candidate the possibility of admission in the future. A student should continue to communicate with the school. See your counselor for more information. The Student Athlete Trinity has had athletes continue on to compete at the collegiate level in many sports. Some schools include: Benedictine University, DePaul University, Lewis University, Loras College, Michigan State, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Walsh University There are many divisions of athletics at the collegiate level including NCAA (DI, DII, DIII); NAIA, NJCAA. Athletes need to discuss their college ideas with their coaches in order to ascertain if they are athletically capable to play for specific schools. Coaches in turn will communicate with various schools concerning athletic and academic accomplishments usually during second semester of junior year. It is important that you research colleges in order to share a list of schools of interest with your coach. 
If you want to become an NCAA student-athlete, you must first take care of your “student” side. College-bound student-athletes who want to compete for Divisions I and II programs must be certified academically (and also as an amateur) by the NCAA Eligibility Center. NCAA Eligibility Center certification does not necessarily mean that a college-bound student-athlete will be accepted for admission at a Division I or II member college or university since institutional admissions requirements often are more restrictive than NCAA initial-eligibility standards. Any college-bound student-athlete should prepare for the academic side of college as though the athletics experience did not exist. Division III does not require NCAA Eligibility Center certification. To participate in Division III athletics, a student-athlete must have been admitted as a regularly enrolled, degree-seeking student in accordance with the regular, published entrance or admissions policies of that college or university. Pick up a Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete from the guidance office or you can access it on www.ncaa.com. The initial correspondence should include a cumulative transcript and high school coaches’ introductory letter of support and should be sent, at the latest, prior to the end of the junior year. Athletes who anticipate being recruited by NCAA Division I and/or Division II schools must complete and submit an NCAA Registration Form available online at www.eligibilitycenter.org. Juniors should send an official transcript upon completion of their sixth semester. A $60.00 fee is charged to process the form.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA) is another athletic association of about 300 colleges and universities. There are 13 sports and 23 national championships. Currently, there are 60,000 student-athletes and $450 million in athletic scholarships. Every student interested in playing championship sports at NAIA colleges for the first time in fall 2011 or later needs to register and receive an eligibility determination. www.naia.org You +1'd this publicly. Undo The NJCAA is the national governing body for two-year college athletics, covering junior college and community colleges nationwide.

www.ncaa.org VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES www.volunteermatch.org COLLEGE GUIDE BOOKS Below is a brief list of suggested materials to help you narrow down your choices and you may find useful in your college search. The Guidance Department has extra copies for your perusal. Some of the guides may be available in the school library or at your public library. The College Handbook (The College Board) is one of the big books – a compendium of academic, demographic and financial facts about schools coast to coast. Readers can look up colleges by “environment” – small and urban or large and suburban, for example. There is also a list of schools that accept applications very late in the year. Historically black colleges are indexed, too, as are schools with services for learning-disabled students. The book’s website offers, among other things, sample PSAT questions (www.collegeboard.org) Four-Year Colleges (by Peterson’s) is another comprehensive guide describing 2,500 colleges and universities. In addition the book indexes colleges by state, by majors offered and by cost categories from $2,000 a year to $20,000 and more. The publisher’s website (www.petersons.com) offers 1,000 school descriptions taken from the guide. America’s Best Colleges (U.S. News & World Report) places 1,400 colleges in “quality tiers” based on academic reputation, selectivity and alumni giving, among other things: new this year is a diversity ranking. The Fiske Guide to Colleges (Random House/Times Books) Covers 300 schools – 175 “selective” colleges, along with others deemed interesting because of their curriculums or locations. Website: www.fiskguide.com The 371 Best Colleges by The Princeton Review (Random House/Times Books) Along with information provided by college administrators about faculty ratios, admissions and learning-disability programs, it offers ratings and comments by students. This book has become known for its student rankings of schools in 62 categories: everything from “Party Schools” and “Students Most Nostalgic for George McGovern” to “Best Overall Academic Experience.” The K & W Guide to Colleges for Students with Learning Disabilities by The Princeton Review (Random House, Inc) This guide provides extensive information about the services or programs available at colleges and universities for students with learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The Black Student’s Guide to Colleges (Madison Books) profiles more than 190 colleges, 20 of them historically black. Aside from the usual data on academics, admissions and costs, the book lists the number of black professors at each college and provides some frank descriptions about the realities of social life for black students at mostly white schools. Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools You Should Know About Even If You’re Not a Straight-A Student by Loren Pope, suggests some “no-name” colleges that produce, in the author’s words, “a higher proportion of scientists, scholars and people in Who’s Who” than do designer-label colleges.
