The
activities in the following options are designed to take
place during the full 9-months of the school year, beginning
in September and ending each program at the end of May.
However, the pace we go may be dictated by your busy student
schedule. We may have to speed up at times and back-down
when you're very busy. DEADLINES in the course scheduling,
college preparation, testing and application world are real.
While
there is no "deadline" for securing See
Higher Education services, the earlier the better,
particularly if you are entering your senior year. If you
are a younger student, March, April and May is a good time
for us to work together. If you are a transfer student,
we jump in when you are ready. Hiring a See
Higher Education
Consultant will give you the edge and the peace-of-mind
that you deserve.
