College Open Houses/Campus Preview Days
College open houses/preview days are designed to give senior students and their parents the opportunity to take campus tours, hear presentations on admissions, financial aid and housing, meet university representatives, and participate in panel discussions with college students and faculty.
 
Students are reminded that they are allowed only two college visit days per academic year. Requests for college days must be returned to the high school counselors within 5 school days prior to the visit.
 
Whenever possible, seniors are encouraged to take advantage of college visit days when Taylorville High School is not in session.

  • www.pin.ed.gov - where students and parents can request a Personal Identification Number (PIN).  The PIN may be used as an electronic signature for FAFSA on the Web, Renewal FAFSA and Corrections on the Web, and to access the National Student Loan Data System. ****

 

  • www.studentaid.ed.gov - which contains Funding Your Education, The Student Guide in English and Spanish, and links to other resources.<!--[endif]-->

 

  • www.students.gov - SFA’s award-winning Web site, which connects students with U.S. government services and information, including information on careers, planning an education, and paying for college.<!--[endif]-->

  

**** A pin number (an electronic signature) is required for use with the on-line FAFSA.   Students and parents are encouraged to go on-line now and get a pin number now rather than wait until after January 1.
