Getting Prepared for College!

Hey Future Jags! Getting prepared for college is something extremely important to be doing, especially within your last several weeks of high school. Making sure everything is lined up and ready after high school will make for a very easy and smooth transition into college. I have created a list of 5 things that I think are super important for the transition to college life, and I hope they help any of you Future Jags out there who can't wait to be a student here at South Alabama.

1) Meet with your high school counselors. This is important in making sure you know when your final transcript will sent out, and asking any questions you may have before you graduate.

2) Make sure to have your South Alabama recruitment counselor's information on hand for any questions you might have before you get to South. Our recruitment counselor's here are extremely helpful in making sure you get all the information you're looking for. You can find your specific recruitment counselor's name and contact information on our website at www.southalabama.edu/recruitmentteam.

3) Be sure to register for Orientation! Orientation is mandatory for new students and is such a fun way to meet new people and learn all about South Alabama, as well as register for your classes. You can register for an orientation session on our website at www.southalabama.edu/orientation.

4) Spend lots of time with your high school friends in your last summer before college! This will make for amazing memories that you will cherish forever.

5) Make a packing list for everything you need to bring with you to South! This will make packing so much more easier that way you don't forget anything!
