What's Next?
Thoroughly read your acceptance letter and make sure you follow all the required steps to officially enroll at the college of your choosing. After being admitted to a specific major/program, colleges will require you to formally accept your offer of admission to claim a seat in their incoming first-year class. This step often includes a nonrefundable enrollment deposit which is often waived for 21st Century Scholars.
