You will have 2 periods to explore the EXPO and talk to as many Representatives as you would like. We have 38 Reps scheduled to attend representing CTE, Military, Academics, and Professional Careers.All Juniors will report to the Event Center (Gym) as soon as attendance for 1st period has been taken. Juniors will remain in the Event Center till the end of 2nd Period.All Seniors will report to the Event Center once attendance for 3rd period has been taken. Seniors will remain in the Event Center, till the end of 4th period.This is a great time for you to ask our reps if there are any Internship or volunteer opportunities with their organizations. I encourage you to bring a couple of resumes in case these opportunities arise.I am attaching a map of the expo and a list with the table numbers that the presenters will be assigned so that you can plan your visit. I am also attaching a flyer with some questions you may want to have ready. I sent this info to your teachers, so don't be surprised if they assign you to get these questions answered and have you turn them in as a graded assignment.Hope you enjoy the event!

CSU Extends "Intent To Register Deadline"
-
“For prospective students who have applied for the fall 2024 term and received admission to one or more CSU campuses, this deadline extension allows them and their families additional time to review financial aid offers before making their decision to commit to a particular CSU," said April Grommo, assistant vice chancellor of CSU Strategic Enrollment Management.
Typically, CSU campuses would determine aid offers by March and ask admitted students to declare their intent to register to a CSU campus by May 1. However, the U.S. Department of Education announced on January 30 that it would begin sending student FAFSA information to universities starting in mid-March—approximately two months later than initially planned. This means that universities across the country, including the CSU, won't receive the federal data within the typical timeline needed to deliver financial aid offer letters to prospective students.
“We understand the frustration that students and families may be feeling. The CSU is committed to ensuring students receive a comprehensive financial aid package," said Grommo. “Financial aid offices across the CSU's 23 institutions are working diligently to be prepared so they can award students as soon as possible after the receipt of the student FAFSA information (ISIRs)."
For information on each CSU's intent to register deadline, visit the university's admissions or registrar website.
Students who have not applied for financial aid are encouraged to do so. The priority deadline for academic year 2024-25 is April 2. For information on eligibility or how to apply, visit the FAFSA website or the California Student Aid Commission website.
Or, you can see Mr. Amavisca in the Career Center for a copy of the application.
