IMPORTANT
SENIOR INFORMATION
COLLEGE MAJORS NOT TAUGHT IN DE
SCHOOLS
If a student plans to major in a subject that is not offered
in a state college/university (e.g. architecture) the student
may qualify for tuition assistance through the Scip Program or
the Academic Common Market. For information about these
programs, please read the Scholarship Compendium that was given
to each CHS senior in September or call the Delaware Higher
Education Commission at 302-577-3240 or 1-800-292-7935.
TRANSCRIPT & SENIOR CHECK
LETTER - All seniors should have received a copy of their transcript and
a senior credit check letter at the end of the year.
Please hold on to this transcript. You will need the
information about GPA and overall credits to fill out college
applications. Each senior will meet individually with his
or her guidance counselor to review the transcript in early
September. Please review schedules when they arrive to
make sure all necessary classes for graduation appear on the
schedule. All seniors should also be receiving a postcard
in the mail about suggestions for the college search process.
