MAY  By May 1 you must let your college know that you plan to accept their offer of admission  After May 1, colleges assume you plan to attend a different school and start offering admission to their “wait list” students  If you change your mind after May 1, there may not be room for you at the college  Notify Student Services where you want your final transcript sent (we will give you a form for this)
