How to Apply to College

College Application Process
To Apply for Colleges:

Most college applications will be filled out online on the college’s website under "Undergraduate Admissions."
You can also fill out many in-state applications on www.cfnc.org
Pay close attention to application due dates. Most applications need to be received or postmarked on or before the due date, which should be on the application.
To check on the status of your application, please contact the college directly. Most schools have online chat-boxes or admissions counselors you can contact directly with your questions.
Don’t forget to send an official transcript.
