Checklist for College Applications

All of the following steps must be completed before your
college application(s) will be accepted for processing.

1.    A FERPA (Family Education Rights & Privacy Act form linked above) must be signed and dated by a parent/guardian and returned with your application(s) before we can send transcripts.

2.    Your student activity Sheet must be on file in the Counseling Office.  This form is provided by the Counseling Office.  The Counseling Office will not accept your application without this.

3.    Pick up Woodhaven High School envelopes for the schools you are applying to if ACT scores and transcripts need to be sent from the Counseling Office.  Address the envelope to the appropriate College Admissions Office.  You will need one stamp if you are applying online and two stamps if you are applying with the paper application.

If you are applying online:

1.  Fill out the application completely and pay online or send a check/money order for the application fee.

2.  Print out the counselor page before submitting the application and bring it to the counseling office with the addressed, stamped envelope so we can include your ACT scores.

3.  Go to www.docufide.com to create a free profile so you can request that your transcripts be sent to the college/school you are applying to.  More specific directions are in the counseling office.

If you are applying with a paper application:

1.  Fill out application completely.

2.  Bring in the application with a check/money order for the application fee with the addressed, stamped envelope so we can include your ACT scores.

3.  Go to www.docufide.com to create a free profile so you can request that your transcripts be sent to the school you are applying to.  More specific directions are in the counseling office.

Note:  Colleges do not request transcripts and ACT scores from WHS.  You MUST request them from your counselor.  If you are applying to Western, U of M, or Michigan State, you must have your ACT scores sent directly from ACT.  Login to www.actstudent.org to do this.  If you already had your scores sent to the college you are applying to when you took the ACT, then we will not need to send your scores through the mail, however, you will still need to create an account with docufide to request that your transcripts be sent.

BRING COMPLETED APPLICATIONS, ENVELOPES, AND FORMS TO THE COUNSELING OFFICE.  Don’t forget to sign the application log book located on the secretary's desk in the counseling office.
