Enloe Senior procedures Senior Meetings Counselors will meet with EVERY senior to discuss senior status (credits remaining, GPA, rank, etc.) and post-secondary plans. There is no need to request this meeting through email. Counselors will contact seniors. Students should share their appointment times with teachers.

Does my college require a counselor rec? The Common App: Colleges can choose to require or not require a counselor recommendation. (Ex: NCSU & UNC DO NOT require) Requirements will be reflected in multiple places within the application and recommendation systems. The Common App recommendation system will remain a one-and-done process. Once a counselor submits any school form-including the School Report and the new Counselor Recommendation –that form will be made available to the student’s college as soon as the student submits the application to that college.

College Foundation of NC (CFNC) Create an account! CFNC allows students applying to NC colleges to enter basic application information only once. Transcripts to NC colleges (except if using Common App) are sent through CFNC by the student. *NOTE: DO NOT request transcripts through CFNC or our school’s online system until you receive notice that it is OK to do so and that rank is final! Some colleges prefer that you apply through their individual websites. If a NC school, you still send your transcript through CFNC.

What to know about Transcripts Seniors have recently received an unofficial copy of their transcript. THE RANK IS NOT OFFICIAL! If there are any errors to the personal or academic info, please correct and turn in to Student Services by September 11! We will be reviewing the transcripts turned in with errors and finalizing transcripts before we run rank. Rank will be run Monday, September 18! DO NOT request transcripts through CFNC or our school’s online system until we give you the OK!
