Felician College Instant Decision Days




Dear Colleague,

Felician College is in the process our accepting applicants for the Fall 2014 semester.

Due to the inclement weather, many students have been unable to keep their scheduled appointments and tour dates. I thought we might offer them the opportunity to apply in-person and receive an immediate decision.

During the week of February 24th through February 28th, Felician will be hosting Instant Decision Days on the Rutherford Campus.  Students can register online for an appointment but walk-in’s are also welcome.  Counselors will be available from 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Monday and 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

On February 22nd, we will be hosting a Saturday Session and FAFSA Filing Workshop. Students can tour the campus, speak to a counselor and file the FAFSA. Financial Aid officers will help parents and students with the online process in our computer labs.

We will also be hosting three Falcon Overnight Programs (for accepted students) and a Spring Open House on April 6th.

As I mentioned in my last letter, we have increased our monetary awards this year.  Students admitted to Honors will receive a monetary award, and we’ll continue to offer housing and need-based grants. The average award for our students is $16,000 (NOT including any TAG, PELL or other grants for which they may be eligible).

I’d like to remind you about our Collegiate Program (Project Forward) for high –achieving students.  Juniors and seniors can take college classes at Felician for just $50.00 per credit. If they decide to enroll in Felician, they will receive flat-rate tuition for being in the program.

Please encourage your students to sign-up for our Instant Decision Days. If you have students awaiting a decision, please don’t hesitate to email me directly and we’ll get you a decision immediately.

As always, thank you for your support.  I look forward to working with you and your students.
 
Sincerely,
 
Colleen M. Fuller

Make a Testing Plan...


Most students take the SAT for the first time in the spring of their junior year. This allows them to build on their experience with the PSAT/NMSQT® while leaving time for them to take the SAT a second time.

Because the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT have similar formats, students who take the SAT while their PSAT/NMSQT experience is still fresh have an advantage.
Students can use the feedback they receive on their PSAT/NMSQT performance to help prepare themselves for the SAT.
The sooner students take the SAT, the sooner they'll be able to make the most of free college planning resources like BigFuture™.

Most students take the test again in the fall of their senior year and often improve their score.

Want to know when to take the SAT?
