We have a running joke around the office that people don't read the things we send to them. We work hard on crafting appropriate messages that we know will answer their questions about everything from their admission to the college to how to pay their enrollment deposit. The truth is...they don't sometimes. Hey, I'm as guilty as the next guy. I admit, I don't always read the fine print. So, I'm going to tell you what you need to know as we approach May 1. Ah, May 1 - my birthday, anniversary, Christmas, and the 4th of July all rolled into one. This is the day for admission officers around the country. We'll know then if we've been successful or not. OK, here goes - 1. Visit campus, again or for the first time. If you liked us the first time, come back and see if it still feels as good. If you haven't been here yet, you still have time to fit us in - Experience Naz on Monday April 6, a campus tour (M-F 10, 12, and 2 or Sat. 10 am), interviews, overnights, athletic events, etc. 2. Financial aid - FAFSA done? If so, check your NazNet account to see your aid award. No FAFSA - ok, but let us know you won't be filing or hurry, and get it submitted! We want to work with you on this, but we need your help in completing this key form. Also, we will entertain financial aid appeals. Submit your appeal, in writing, to me at tdarin2@naz.edu. I'll get back to you in 48 hours or less. Preference on appeals goes to those who still show unmet demonstrated need or have unique financial circumstances not reflected in the FAFSA. 3. Meet others who have been accepted by visiting our social networking site, Ning. This is a great way to make new friends and learn more about us from your peers. 4. Enrollment deposit - your enrollment deposit form is located in your acceptance packet and is dated for May 1, 2009. When you submit this with your check or credit card number we will hold a place for you in the incoming class. Further, it will trigger more information to you about things such as housing, registration, and orientation. Alright, now you know. If there is anything else I can help out with call me directly at 585 389-2830 or email tdarin2@naz.edu.
