Need to Another Option for College Enrollment? Consider the CFNC College Redirection Pool The College Redirection Pool is a resource that helps students find open slots in universities for students whose college plans have change or are just beginning the college admission process!

Students start by creating a profile through CFNC with information that includes GPA, test scores, and anticipated major. This profile is made available to colleges and universities throughout North Carolina, who can then reach out to the students who meet their specific admissions requirements and recruit them to attend. When recruited, students will also be given information about the financial aid that could potentially be awarded to them from each college.

CFNC’s College Redirection Pool becomes available to students on April 1 and can be used through August 31.

The Advising Corner Follow Your College on Social Media Most colleges and universities use Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and even TikTok to keep their students in the loop of exciting events and opportunities happening in their school. Follow them now to stay in the loop of upcoming events, have a better understanding of their posting schedules, and begin your networking with your future peers. You might even be featured in their posts if you tag your college with your acceptance letter!

Consider a Pre-Orientation Program...

Not to be confused with Freshman Orientation, which every first-year college student is required to attend. Pre-Orientation is an optional program you can attend before orientation, and usually comes with a fee. Depending on your college and the available programs, pre-orientation would allow you to move onto campus earlier so by the time Freshman Orientation begins you would already have a head start from your peers. Pre-orientations are also topic-specific or extracurricular- some examples of pre-orientation programs include book clubs, camping, marching band, etc.

Check your college website for more information about the preorientation programs they offer!
